G-League guard London Johnson has officially committed to the University of Louisville for the 2026 basketball recruiting class, as confirmed by sources at On3. The 21-year-old point guard has spent the last three seasons developing his skills in the G-League.
Johnson is set to join the Cardinals midway through the academic year and will use the remainder of the 2025-26 season to train and acclimate to the program, although he will not participate in games until the following season. He is projected to have two years of eligibility left to contribute to the Louisville basketball team.
Having graduated from high school in the class of 2022, Johnson was recognized as a four-star recruit before opting to forgo college basketball in favor of a two-year contract with the NBA’s G-League Ignite program. This decision allowed him to gain invaluable experience, preparing him for the challenges that lie ahead at Louisville.
Johnson’s arrival is expected to bolster the Cardinals’ roster, bringing with him a wealth of experience from the G-League, as well as heightening excitement among fans and the coaching staff for the upcoming season. His commitment demonstrates Louisville’s continued effort to attract top talent and build a competitive team for the future.
