Gators Add Keyontae Johnson to Signing Class
Sunday, November 12, 2017 | Men's Basketball
The ultra-athletic wing has posted a 41-inch vertical leap.
The Florida men's basketball team added Keyontae Johnson to the 2018 freshman class, head coach Mike White announced on Sunday.
"We're really excited about what Keyontae will bring to our team," White said. "His skill set complements Andrew Nembhard and Noah Locke in this class. Just like those guys, we think he will fit this team really well on the court and in the locker room."
With Johnson, a Rivals150 prospect, now in the fold, the Gators have 247sports' 11th-rated signing class. Johnson posted a 41-inch vertical leap this summer at Peach Jam, a mark that would have ranked fourth at this year's NBA Combine.
