 ALL-MET ELITE

 

Broad Run point guard Nigel Johnson, the area’s leading scorer last winter, has transferred to Riverdale Baptist for his senior season.
The explosive point guard averaged 29.5 points per game as a junior and carried the Spartans to the Northwest Region playoffs in their inaugural season in Virginia’s AAA classification.
But as one of the area’s top back-court recruits, Johnson’s desire to polish his game in preparation for the rigors of Division I college basketball drove him to Upper Marlboro.
Johnson, who played at Paul VI as a freshman before transferring to Broad Run, averaged 8.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds and nearly four steals per game. He eclipsed 30 points 11 times and closed the season with a flurry of offensive outbursts that included a 55-point explosion in an overtime loss to Osbourn. Johnson terrorized defenses in the Cedar Run District with his ability to get to the rim or pull up for jump shots, and his knack for scoring earned him league player of the year and second-team All-Met honors. This summer he played for DC Assault alongside North Carolina recruit and recent Oak Hill Academy transfer Nate Britt.

Johnson’s current offer list includes George Washington, American, Bucknell, Cornell, William & Mary, Bucknell, Northeastern, Brown, Princeton, Lehigh, Robert Morris, Delaware, Drexel, UNC Greensboro, Florida International and Quinnipiac.
