Fresh Faces On The Forty: Transfer PG Isaiah Johnson brings scoring
Isaiah Johnson, a high-scoring transfer guard from Colorado, has joined the Texas Longhorns men's basketball team via the transfer portal. He is expected to be an immediate starter and key offensive contributor for Sean Miller's squad next season. Johnson's scoring ability and floor spacing could make him a central figure in the Longhorns' upcoming campaign.
- ▪Isaiah Johnson averaged 16.9 points, 3 assists, and 1 steal per game while shooting 37.8% from three for Colorado in 2025.
- ▪He scored at least 10 points in all but one Big 12 game and played over 30 minutes in all but one contest last season.
- ▪Johnson is one of several transfers added by Texas after the departures of Jordan Pope, Tramon Mark, and Chendall Weaver.
- ▪Sean Miller and the Longhorns are building momentum after a Sweet 16 appearance in Miller's first season.
- ▪Johnson may not be the highest-rated addition, but his offensive versatility could make him the most valuable to the team.
