Johnson was Kentucky coach Mark Pope’s highest-rated recruit at No. 25 overall in the 247 Sports Composite ranks last season. Johnson’s father, Dennis, was an All-SEC pass rusher for Kentucky’s football program from 1998-2001.
The younger Johnson now joins coach Dana Altman’s squad in Eugene, an Oregon unit that finished 12-20 overall and 5-15 in the Big 10 in 2025-26. He will have three years of remaining eligibility.
Oregon now has four incoming players via the portal – as Johnson will be joined by power forwards Pharaoh Compton and Andrew Meadow along with small forward Tyrone Riley.
