Marquette men’s basketball secured the commitment of Utah graduate transfer Jayce Johnson Tuesday afternoon, a source with direct knowledge confirmed.
He will be eligible to play immediately this fall for his final year of eligibility. It leaves Marquette with two open scholarships for the upcoming season.
Johnson, a 7-foot center, averaged 7.1 points and 7.7 rebounds for the Utes last season. He had a season-high 17 points Feb. 14 against Arizona.
Originally he chose Utah over Colorado, Notre Dame, California and Stanford. He played for the same summer basketball program as former Marquette recruiting targets Nico Mannion, Josh Green and Riley Battin.
