Former Auburn guard KD Johnson announces transfer destination

Former Auburn guard KD Johnson is heading north. Johnson, who entered the transfer portal March 26, announced his plans to transfer to George Mason in an Instagram post Friday afternoon. Johnson's transfer to George Mason comes on the heels of a 2023-24 campaign that saw him average 7.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, all while averaging 17.7 minutes per appearance. While Johnson consistently served as a catalyst for the Auburn Tigers this past season, Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl was honest with him at the conclusion of the season: If Johnson wanted to see more playing time in his final year of eligibility, it'd probably be best he look elsewhere.
