MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee men's basketball has added a veteran presence in transfer Jacob Johnson. A redshirt junior, Johnson joins the Blue Raiders from Long Island University as a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining.

"Jacob is a high character young man who brings a wealth of on-court experience with him," head coach Nick McDevitt said. "He possesses leadership qualities that every team needs, he's a tireless worker, and at 6'5" he plays with great effort. Adding Jacob to the program rounds out our roster really well."

A 6'5" guard, Johnson is coming off a 2022-23 season that saw him start all 29 games played and average 10.
