Woodford County standout Jay Johnson has committed to play basketball at Tennessee Tech.

 

Yellowjackets coach Scott Hundley announced Johnson's decision via email.

 

Johnson, a 6-foot-7 forward, is considered one of the state's best prospects in the Class of 2012.

 

Johnson is currently rehabbing a knee after undergoing surgery this summer. He is expected to be back on the court by the beginning of the year.

 

Johnson also had offers from Coastal Carolina and Gardner-Webb. He averaged 20 points and 14 rebounds for Woodford Co. as a junior.

Congrats to him. I can't help but wonder if he may have had different choices had he not gotten hurt. I still remember when he got hurt. It didn't seem to be too serious of an injury at the time. I hope he can make it back to the court for his senior year at some point. Great player who I have enjoyed watching the past two years. Even his off balance one handed three pointer at the buzzer to beat my Rebels was a sight to see. Congrats and good luck Jay.

Jay is a very fine player. Congratulations. I see that Happy Osborne may have had a hand in this one.... in his new gig at TT.

Happy with his first central KY recruit.

I think he will be a very good player in the OVC. Nice sign by Happy and the TN Tech staff.
