Lonnie Johnson profile

Johnson is a good sized kid who used his frame to go up and catch the ball in traffic. He got off the line when pressed, and as he gets stronger and improves his technique, he should become even harder to jam and cover. He has offers from Ohio State, his current leader, Illinois and Bowling Green.
