The 6-foot-5 scoring machine and his family have had a longstanding relationship with Terry that dates back to when Terry was an assistant coach at Baylor and Richard Johnson Jr. played for the Bears.
Terry had a key assist in the recruitment from Frank Haith, who returned to Texas and joined the staff on April 8.
Johnson made a number of official visits during the recruiting process, including two to Texas. The former Lake Highlands standout made a first official visit to Texas on September 17, 2022. He made a second official visit in August.
The 2023 6A State Champion at Lake Highlands also made two official visits to Baylor during the process. Johnson also made official visits to Kansas and Kentucky in the first part of 2023. He cancelled a September visit to Alabama.

On3 Scouting Report
Tre Johnson is as natural a scorer as there is in the class. Standing at a lengthy 6-5, he’s able to get the shot off over defenders. What really stands out is his ability to create space. His balance is great and can’t talk enough about the footwork. He still needs to continue working on strength and distinguishing between a shot you can get and a good shot. Johnson has a smooth jump shot, with a repeatable form and release, no matter the level. He averaged 24.0 points on 40.7% 3P in Phoenix. – Jamie Shaw
