Jeremiah Johnson, former Oklahoma State hoops signee, officially visiting Florida Gators

Jeremiah Johnson, a 2024 guard from PHHoenix Prep (AZ) who recently was released from his Letter of Intent with Oklahoma State, will officially visit the Florida Gators on Thursday and called them his top school entering the trip.

Johnson told Gators Online he is down to Florida, Stanford, Texas A&M and Wisconsin-Green Bay. He plans to have a decision by no later than next Monday — and will enroll at his school of choice the same week. This will be Johnson’s first visit to coach Todd Golden‘s program.

“This visit is real big,” Johnson said. “Just hearing what they’ve got and seeing all they can offer and how I can help their program.”

Johnson, a 3-star recruit, is listed at 6-foot-4 and 175 pounds and is the No. 30 shooting guard in the class for the On3 Industry Rankings. But he said the Gators are recruiting him at point guard.

“To be honest, the No. 1 school is Florida right now,” Johnson told Gators Online. “Just because of the plan they’ve got for me, how they envision me playing. I’ve watched Florida since I was a kid. Knowing how they play and about their program just gives them a leg up already.”

Johnson, a native of Oklahoma City, said he grew up a Gators fan and watched them closely last season as they reached the NCAA Tournament.

“Me and especially my pop watched a lot of their games,” Johnson said. “I like how their coaches let Zion Pullin and Walter Clayton play. I like how they play and let their guys go downhill.”

On3 scouting report for Jeremiah Johnson

“Jeremiah Johnson has long arms with a projectable frame,” On3’s Jamie Shaw said. “The jump shot is natural and smooth. It has a repeatable, high release with great wrist action on the follow-through. He runs well and moves both vertically and laterally with athleticism. He is a solid secondary ball handler, would like to see him continue to tighten this area. Has the upside to be a good defender, able to both move his feet on the perimeter and get into the passing lanes off the ball.”
