Kyle Johnson '22 Recruiting Profile

About Me

I grew up in a basketball focused family. I am one of four kids coached by my dad in competitive basketball. I started organized basketball when I was 5. I knew then, this was something I wanted to play at a high level. I started travel basketball in the 4th grade and have played ever since.

Who am I

I am a goal oriented person. I work and train everyday to become a complete player. I practice dribbling, finishing and shooting routines daily. I understand the importance of taking care of my body. My training routine includes weights, agility, conditioning, flexibility, proper nutrition, hydration and rest. I believe my self-motivation and attention to detail is what makes me stand out. Simply put...I am driven and I love basketball. 

My Basketball Skills

I am a shooting guard but have experience at point guard as well. I am a short, mid-range and deep-ball threat, however nothing pumps me up more than taking a defensive charge and changing the momentum of a game. I am a strong ball handler with good court vision and I take tremendous pride in my defense. Defensively, I excel at being in the right place at the right time, rebounding and forcing turnovers.

Education Importance

Off the court, I take school extremely serious by maintaining a high GPA which was instilled in me by my parents. I would like to attend a college that will challenge me on and off the court and has a history of playing at a competitive level. 

What I want

A university that believes in me. A program that takes pride in their students finishing college with an excellent education and will help set me up for future success. I am looking for a college that has a competitive basketball program and one with high winning expectations. I want the chance to prove myself as a starter and a team leader.

What coaches can expect from me

I am a committed team player and a coachable leader with a high basketball IQ. I strive to be the hardest worker on any team both in practice and games. I absorb new concepts quickly, I am defensive minded and will always have a team first attitude.
