Johnson Receives First D-I Offer


Despite what many people believe, extreme competition for the best talent has led college programs to evaluate players at a much early age. As an example, according to his father, Sonny Johnson Jr., an 8th grade PG from Garfield Heights, OH., received his first division I college basketball scholarship offer from Youngstown State this week. 

Johnson has been a Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase standout since he started attending our events when he was in the 4th grade.  In addition, Johnson has built a substantial national reputation as one o the top points guards in the country in the class of 2022.  Congratulations to Sonny and his family for this significant accomplishment!

  1. Colleges aren't even allowed to talk to kids in the 8th grade let alone offer them a scholarship.
