2024 US Olympian David Johnston has entered the NCAA transfer portal. Johnston is currently a graduate student at Texas but only competed for the Longhorns at one meet this season. Sources tell SwimSwam that Johnston is looking hard at Ohio State but that Indiana is in the mix as well. The portal opened today for men’s swimming and diving.
Johnston arrived at Texas as a freshman during the 2020-2021 season. He was 7th in the 1650 free and 8th in the 400 IM at the 2021 NCAA Championships. He returned to NCAAs as a sophomore, finishing 5th in the 1650 free, 6th in the 500 free, and 7th in the 400 IM.
He had a huge junior year during the 2022-2023 season that included an NCAA runner-up finish in the 500 free with a 4:08.79 at the 2023 NCAA Championships. He also was 4th in the 1650 free and 8th in the 400 IM at NCAAs to score a total of 43 individual points, the most of any Texas swimmer that season. In spring 2023, he finished his undergraduate degree.
Johnston then took an Olympic Redshirt for the 2023-2024 season. He made the 2024 US Olympic Team in the 1500 free and was 18th at the Olympics just days after testing positive for COVID-19. He returned to competing for the Longhorns this fall but only swam in their season opener with the dual meet at Alabama.
