LSU is coming off one of its worst seasons in recent memory, going 30-28 overall and 9-21 in conference play. The Tigers struggled in the SEC Tournament in Hoover and failed to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2011.

With this acquisition, Johnson has now secured the #1, #2, and #26 players in the transfer portal.

Watters took to X to announce his commitment.
