BUFFALO, NY – Raheem Johnson became the fourth member of last season's senior squad to sign a professional contract as he signed with Michelon Etha Engomis Nicosia in Cyprus. With the signing, all four scholarship senior from last year have earned their college degrees and signed professional contracts.
Johnson received his Bachelor's Degree in African American Studies and was given then FormidaBULL Scholar Award in 2016, which enables those individuals who have internalized the love of learning and moreover the process of learning to emerge as leaders with the student-athlete body at UB. This award is not intended to simply award those with the most improved GPA, but rather those who have internalized a passion for learning that as relatively absent before or in an area of study that was frustrating in the past.
