FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Head Coach Chris Casey has announced that Prophet Johnson will join the backcourt for Fairfield University Men's Basketball beginning in the 2024-25 season. Johnson, who most recently suited up for Southern Utah University, comes to the Stags with two years of eligibility remaining.
 
"Prophet can score in a variety of ways, he can rebound and he can defend multiple positions," said Casey. "He put up good numbers last season in a very strong mid-major conference, and we look forward to seeing what he can do as a member of the Fairfield Basketball family."
 
Johnson scored in double figures in 13 of his 30 appearances with the Thunderbirds, including three 20-point outings. He dropped a season-best 24 points against a Utah State team that reached the NCAA Championship Second Round and hung 23 on in-state WAC rival Utah Tech. Johnson finished the campaign averaging 8.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists per contest.
 
Prior to his time at Southern Utah, Johnson was the Freshman of the Year and NWAC All-Region First Team selection at Bellevue College. He ranked second in the conference with 23.8 points per game, highlighted by 50 points on 22-for-28 shooting in a win over Whatcom. Johnson led the Bulldogs to a 23-9 record and a NWAC Championship, earning Tournament MVP laurels.
 
Johnson attended Wayne High School in Huber Heights, Ohio, just north of Dayton. He was Greater Western Ohio Conference Player of the Year as a senior, averaging over 20 points per game to lead the GWOC and ranking among the league's top 10 in rebounds, assists and steals.
