TreJohnson

Success runs in Tre Johnson’s family. His father, Richard Johnson Jr., started his basketball career at Baylor before transferring to Midwestern State. During his college career, he scored more than 1,100 points and shot more than 38.8% from 3-point range. Johnson is viewed by On3 basketball analysts as a “unique scorer,” and he’s been widely viewed as one of the nation’s top prospects in the country for years. “From day one, we planned to be here, but we didn't know how it was going to happen or when it was going to happen,” Richard Johnson told CBSDFW.com. “So, us being here, it’s kind of exciting, but we kind of handled it like it’s what we expected.” During his sophomore season at Dallas Lake Highlands High School, Johnson averaged 23.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists for a 32-5 team. That success carried over to his junior year. During four games at the prestigious City of Palms Tournament in December 2022, Johnson averaged 23 points, 8 rebounds and 2.3 assists. He also led Lake Highlands to the championship of the Allen Holiday Invitational, finishing with 32 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in the title game. His high school coach calls Johnson a “human highlight reel.” “When the lights come on, it's a big game and it's a big moment, he is always ready and he's always delivered,” Lake Highlands coach Joe Duffield said. “He has been doing that since he was young.” Johnson idolizes Lebron James and Kevin Durant. He even got to work out with Durant and talks with him often. “Joining him in the NBA is my long-term goal,” Johnson said.
