Louisville transfer Koren Johnson commits to Ole Miss
Former Louisville guard and four-star prospect Koren Johnson committed to Ole Miss, Ole Miss Spirit learned on Tuesday.
The 6-2 junior only appeared in two games this season for the Cardinals due to injury. He averaged 3.0 points, 2.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds for the Cardinals in the 2024-25 season.
He suffered an injury to his shoulder that forced him to miss almost the entire year with Louisville. Johnson revealed on social media shortly after the injury that he would be taking a redshirt season and undergo surgery to repair the ailment. That means he has two more seasons of eligibility as a redshirt junior starting this coming season.
Prior to arriving at Louisville, Johnson was the Pac-12 Sixth Man of the Year for the 2023-24 season at Washington, averaging 10.9 PPG for the Huskies.
Johnson originally entered the portal on March 28 and visited Ole Miss this past weekend, getting time with Chris Beard & Co.
