Woodford County PG Jasper Johnson keeping his recruitment open, but Kentucky is lurking

Playing on tired legs, Jasper Johnson still found a way to impress the college coaches watching him from the crowd.

Johnson is a 6-foot-3 sophomore point guard from Woodford County High School in Versailles, KY. The son of former Kentucky football player Dennis Johnson, Jasper’s athletic ability didn’t fall far from the family tree. Doubling as a star quarterback for the Yellow Jackets, Johnson is already considered a nationally-ranked prospect on the hardwood. The On3 Consensus has him ranked No. 26 overall and the best player from the Commonwealth in the class of 2025.
