On Monday, On3 Consensus five-star <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/aj-johnson-145745/">AJ Johnson</a> announced his commitment to Texas.



The 6-foot-5 class of 2023 point guard chose the Longhorns over LSU, NC State, Louisville, USC, and others. He joins five-star forward <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/ron-holland-102172/">Ron Holland</a> (No. 13).



With the addition of Johnson, Texas now has the No. 3 ranked recruiting class in the country, rising from 15th nationally.

“AJ Johnson is a jet-fast point guard with elite end-to-end speed,” On3’s Jamie Shaw wrote. “He has great length and good size as a lead guard. Johnson will need to add weight; he is very skinny at this point. But his burst and explosion get him to his spots. Johnson is decisive getting downhill, using his dribble to attack the paint. Johnson has upside on defense with his length and quick twitch. The pull-up jump shot is a weapon in the mid-range. He is an above-average shooter that could continue to tighten. His natural tools are impressive, and as he continues to add weight, his ceiling is as high as any player in the 2023 class.”
