South Carolina signer Raven Johnson, 2nd in the 2021 class, won the 2021 trophy from Jersey Mike’s Naismith High School.
Johnson, who was named a McDonald’s All American in February, averaged 15.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.8 steals for Westlake High School (Georgia).
“Raven is an absolute star and we are thrilled that Naismith voters see in her what we saw from the first day we recruited her,” South Carolina Chief Coach Dawn Staley said in a press release. “She is talented, driven and makes everyone around her better on and off the court. We can’t wait to get her on campus and introduce our FAMS to the next big thing in South Carolina.”
Johnson is the headline of South Carolina’s top-ranked recruiting class, which also features prospectus No. 3 Saniya Rivers, prospectus No. 4 Sania Feagin and prospectus No. 14 Aubryanna Hall.
The only other ex-Gamecock to win the Naismith High School Trophy was A’ja Wilson, who won the award in 2014.
