Colorado transfer Isaiah Johnson, one of the best guards in the portal, announced his commitment to Texas on Saturday.

Johnson burst on the scene this past season, going from an unranked recruit out of high school to one of the best playmaking freshmen in the country.

He averaged 16.9 points and 3.0 assists this season, opening his college career with a 24-point performance against Montana State and rarely slowing down the rest of the way. Johnson’s first-year campaign included notable individual outings against BYU (27 points) and Arizona (28 points).

The Los Angeles native is a highly efficient offensive player, shooting 57.3% inside the arc, 37.8% from 3 and 82.1% from the free-throw line. He also draws fouls at an incredibly high rate, ranking sixth in the Big 12 and in the top-100 nationally in free-throw rate.
