In the 2024-25 season, Johnson played a pivotal role in South Carolina's quest for another national championship title. Fans reacted to the news that Gamecock guard would be returning for the 2025-26 season.

With Johnson back for another season, alongside her former high school teammate Ta'Niya Latson, expectations are high for the Gamecocks.
