Tyler Johnson, a 6-foot-2, 179-pound senior from Minneapolis (MN) North, signed with Minnesota in February. Johnson, who is one of the state's top two-sport athletes, was one of ten finalists for the Mr. Football Award and played in the recent Minnesota Basketball Coaches Association All-Star series.
Johnson helped lead Minneapolis North to a 12-1 record, losing to Minneota 35-18 in the Prep Bowl this season. Their 36-35 regular season loss to St. Paul Central was ruled a forfeit as Central used an ineligible player.
Johnson recently helped lead the Polars to Class A basketball state title as they defeated Goodhue 68-45 in the title game.
