Keyontae Johnson, the 6-foot-5 small forward from Oak Hill Academy (VA) and the Boo Williams AAU program, committed to and signed with Florida on Friday.
He also considered Virginia Tech, Texas Tech, and Georgia Tech.
“I like Florida, they are in the SEC so I would play my first year,” Johnson told PlayMakerScouting.com: “I would have competition against Jalen Hudson so I feel like that would be next level.”
“Keyontae is a tremendous athletic wing who can score off the catch or bounce and make plays above the rim,” Oak Hill coach Steve Smith told ZAGSBLOG. “He’s extremely long for 6-5. He is an excellent defender and really rebounds his position. It’s hard to find a better athlete or competitor than Keyontae.”
