By now, you’ve probably heard of class of 2025 point guard Jasper Johnson. His father, Dennis Johnson, was a star defensive end for the Kentucky football program in the late 90s and early 2000s and is now the head football coach for the Woodford County Yellow Jackets. Dennis wound up as a third-round NFL Draft selection and played a few years in the league before turning to coaching.
But Jasper has a chance to be an even better athlete than dad in his respective sport. Just a rising high school junior, the 6-foot-2 phenom is beginning to make a name for himself on the national stage.
