AUSTIN, Texas — Southeastern Conference freshman of the year Tre Johnson says he’s one-and-done at Texas and will enter the NBA draft.
Johnson, who made his announcement on ESPN on Tuesday, averaged 19.7 points per game to lead the SEC and broke Kevin Durant’s school freshman record with 39 against Arkansas late in the regular season.
The 6-foot-6 guard shot 39.7% on 3-pointers, 42.7% overall and 87.1% on free throws to rank among the SEC leaders. He’s projected as a consensus top-10 draft pick.
“I would just like to thank my family, first and foremost, just for keeping me grounded,” Johnson said.
