WATCH: Jasper Johnson talks Kentucky, Caleb Wilson and OTE with KSR

How are things going for Lexington’s own Jasper Johnson in his third and final high school stop before taking his talents to the University of Kentucky? The five-star guard is enjoying his time at Overtime Elite and his development in Atlanta as he prepares for life in college as a Wildcat.

“I’m feeling good, really confident in myself,” Johnson said in a sit-down interview with the media at OTE this past week. “I know I’ve been putting in a lot of work on and off the court to better myself each and every day. Just trying to do what I can to prepare myself as much as I can for next year so whenever I step on the floor I’ll be able to make an impact from day one.”

He’s focusing on getting better, obviously, but he’s also keeping a close eye on Kentucky in Mark Pope’s first season with the Wildcats. In fact, he called the team’s upset win over Duke ahead of time — “I’m confident in Kentucky, for sure,” he said.

Big-picture, though, he’s thrilled with the vision he was sold before he committed coming to life now with the games rolling. It’s a player-friendly system that fires threes and scores at a ridiculous pace with efficiency, something he wants to be a part of next season back home in Lexington.

“It’s been exciting watching all our games, shooting a lot of threes and having a lot of excitement with a lot of freedom,” Johnson said. “I feel like my game will really go well with his offense, the way he’s been pitching it to me.”

The future Wildcat also talked about four-star guard Acaden Lewis joining the fold, recruiting five-star forward Caleb Wilson, pushing Newport, KY native Tay Kinney to sign with Kentucky in ’26 and championship expectations in blue and white. And then to wrap up the media session, Johnson’s coach, Corey Frazier, talks about the Lexington native’s development and what Big Blue Nation can expect from the dynamic scoring guard once he arrives on campus next summer.
