AJ Johnson, the top available prospect in high school basketball, has committed to Texas, he told ESPN on Monday.
Johnson, ESPN's No. 25-ranked player in the 2023 high school class, was the lone top-40 prospect to announce where he'll be playing next season besides Bronny James, who ranks No. 34.
Johnson picked Texas over offers from Louisville, LSU, NC State, Kansas, Tennessee, USC and G League Ignite, among others.
"I chose the college route because I want to win a national title before reaching the next level," Johnson said. "The exposure I'll receive playing on TV all the time will help my overall brand.
