Johnson is Gannon’s lone returning starter from last year’s NCAA Elite Eight team. The 6’3” guard is considered an excellent all-around player who has the potential for a break-out season in 2009-10.
The Arlington, Va., native is one of Gannon’s best defenders while being an efficient offensive player. Johnson is “one of the high-energy guys,” according to head coach John T. Reilly.
