Utah hoops lands commitment from 4-star in-state forward
Utah basketball landed a commitment from Class of 2024 4-star power forward Jaxon Johnson Thursday afternoon.
Johnson, who hails from Sandy, Utah (just south of Salt Lake City), stands at 6-9 and is a standout for Alta HS. He chose his hometown Utes over BYU, USC and Stanford.
He’s not an elite athlete by any means, but Johnson is a good shooter with above average offensive potential.
