Kansas State lands Bowling Green transfer Marcus Johnson
Kansas State has struck once again in the transfer portal. Bowling Green forward Marcus Johnson has committed to K-State.
The announcement from Johnson comes on the heels of an official visit to Kansas State. The Ohio native visited K-State on May 14 and was impressed with what he saw. It was enough to pull the trigger and pick the Wildcats. His visit to Kansas State was the only known visit of his recruitment in the transfer portal after entering in March.
Johnson spent one season at Bowling Green and had a productive season. The forward averaged 16.2 points and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 43 percent from the field. Johnson also shot an impressive 39.4 percent from three on 198 attempts this past season.
Bowling Green played just one game against high-major competition this past season. Johnson scored 24 points on 23 shot attempts and hauled in five rebounds against Michigan State. The senior is a good scorer, reaching the 20-point mark 13 times for the Falcons. He also posted 26 games with double-digit points, tying for the team-lead and shot a MAC best 89.9 percent from the free-throw line.
