Keyontae Johnson Is Transferring: College Basketball World Reacts

May 2, 2022 by The Spun

Florida men's basketball player Keyontae Johnson lays it up.

Florida men’s basketball forward Keyontae Johnson, who hasn’t played since December 2020, officially entered the NCAA transfer portal on Sunday.

Johnson averaged 14.0 points and 7.1 rebounds per game as a sophomore in 2019-20 and was named the preseason SEC Player of the Year before the following season. He was off to a strong star to his junior campaign before collapsing on the court during a game at Florida State on December 12, 2020.

That was the last time the 6-foot-5 Johnson ever played in a college basketball game. He reportedly was never going to be cleared to play by Florida’s medical team, so now he’ll look for a potential opportunity elsewhere.

Complicating matters is the fact Johnson was accused of sexual assault back in March. A 19-year-old woman alleges Johnson assaulted her while she was intoxicated during a February pool party in Gainesville.

Florida G/F Keyontae Johnson has entered the transfer portal.

Johnson has not played since the 20-21 season when he collapsed mid game.

Johnson was one of the SEC’s best players before the incident averaging 14PPG, 7.1RPG and 1.6APG in 19-20. A BIG name if he’s cleared to play. pic.twitter.com/3kE8AE3hcI

Keyontae Johnson has entered the transfer portal. Very interesting to see if he gets cleared to play somewhere else…

Not sure how this one will play out. He was an NBA quality player prior to serious health issues. Will be interesting to track. Wish him well obviously. https://t.co/yqFKd84FV6

This is interesting. Maybe another team will let him play. https://t.co/I1RIrLE0yz

WHAT ? https://t.co/Paxx05BnLH

Still risky for his own health. https://t.co/VJfrpIBain

If Johnson is cleared, and if his legal issues are resolved, he could be an impactful addition to a major Division I program.

However, both of those things are significant hurdles he has to get over before he is able to resume his playing career.
