The transformation of St. John’s continues as the Johnnies land 6’4” guard Montez Mathis, who transfers from Rutgers with up to two years of eligibility remaining.
Mathis, a 200 pound guard known to be a good defender, chose St. John’s over Clemson. Originally from Maryland, he was a top-100 recruit coming out of high school with offers from the likes of Connecticut.
Mathis brings experience, athleticism, and defensive skill to the Red Storm at the wing, after the Johnnies lost Greg Williams, Jr., Vince Cole, and Rasheem Dunn to the transfer portal.
