The first candidate expected to follow Alexander brings an impressive resume, highlighted by an induction to the Bruins Hall of Fame.

His time featured three NCAA Tournament appearances under former head coach Rick Byrd and the program's only 30-win season since 2000. According to his bio, Johnson is "one of the most decorated players in program history."
Johnson won two Most Valuable Player awards, first in the Atlantic Sun in 2012 and the Ohio Valley Conference in 2013.
In his four years with the Bruins, Johnson has coached in four consecutive 20-win seasons, including a 2026 regular season title. Johnson is the first member of Alexander's former staff rumored to join the Wildcats staff since his departure from the Bruins.
