Texas Basketball Secures 5-Star Guard Tre Johnson

Share News

The Texas Longhorns have struck gold in their recruiting efforts, securing a commitment from Tre Johnson, a highly-touted 5-star guard. As one of the brightest stars in high school basketball, Johnson’s choice to join Texas over other elite programs like Baylor signifies a major coup for the Longhorns. At 6 feet 6 inches and 190 pounds, Johnson is ranked as the No. 4 prospect in the 2024 class. A prospect of this caliber always improves NCAAB Lines for his team. 

A Complete Athlete, a Complete Longhorn

Johnson’s remarkable skill set was on full display at the Nike EYBL Peach Jam, where he averaged 15.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. A Dallas native, he’s considered one of the top scorers in his class, capable of scoring through a wide array of methods, including pull-up jumpers, fadeaways, off-the-screen plays, and dynamic finishes at the rim.

Beyond his scoring, Johnson is also a skilled passer, evidenced by his average of 3.9 assists per game during the EYBL regular season. His scoring prowess was particularly memorable in a game against Duncanville High School, where he racked up over 30 points against the defending state champions.

Right Time, Right Place

Johnson joins the Longhorns at a critical time, as they potentially face the departure of more than five players due to graduation or entry into the professional leagues. His ability to make an immediate impact will be crucial for Texas, but he’s not the only top-50 commitment for the Longhorns, who have also secured pledges from No. 28 prospect Cam Scott and No. 45 prospect Nic Codie.

Looking to the future, Texas is shifting its focus to the 2025 recruiting class, with several five-star prospects on their radar, including Koa Peat, Isiah Harwell, and Darryn Peterson. Peat has already paid an official visit, while Harwell and Peterson have Texas among their top choices. The Longhorns’ recruiting momentum continues as Coach Rodney Terry and his staff also court four-star recruits like John Clark, Sebastian Williams-Adams, and Mikel Brown Jr.

Conclusion

With these strategic moves, the Longhorns are not just preparing for the next season but are building a solid foundation for the program’s future. The commitment of Tre Johnson marks a significant milestone in Texas basketball’s journey to becoming a powerhouse in college hoops and a team with always interesting NCAAB Odds.  For bettors and fans, this means keeping a close eye on Texas as they continue to bolster their roster with high-caliber talent, promising an exciting and competitive era ahead for the Longhorns.
