He overcame health scare, graduated college, came home to finish hoops career at UM

Zach Johnson is known for his fashion sense, and always has been since he led Miami Norland High to back-to-back 6A state titles in 2013-14. But there was one shirt he needed to make his wardrobe complete; and he had been unable to obtain it until two months ago.

He wore his No. 5 UM jersey for the first time on Sept.
