Nearly 50 years after Johnson left campus, he will be enshrined in the Hall of Fame as the first-ever individual elected by the new Veteran’s Committee. Johnson graduated in 1971 as the third all-time leading scorer in school history with 1,178 career points. While he has slipped to 19th in the near half-century to follow, the 1971 co-captain was an outstanding two-way forward, starting four seasons for the Gothics for Coach Larry Schiner from 1968-71. An All-NJAC selection, he also grabbed 820 career rebounds (9.1 per game). He still ranks fifth in school history in total rebounds and seventh in rebounding average. NJCU went 50-44 during his career and reached the 1969-70 NAIA Tournament.
