Scores 17 off bench Johnson closed Saturday's 105-93 loss to Vanderbilt with 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and five assists over 14 minutes.

Impact Johnson came off the bench to drain three from beyond the arc en route to a 17 point performance while also pacing the Knights with five assists. The junior combo guard started his career with Texas, then played in just three games while being riddled with injuries last season for Stephen F. Austin. Saturday's performance should go a long way toward helping Johnson solidify a quality role in the UCF rotation moving forward.

The 6-foot-5 junior transfer from Stephen F. Austin, who started his collegiate career at Texas, will look to establish himself as a solid role player with the Knights this fall.
