“It just felt like home, a brotherhood, the coaches came for me,” Johnson said. “It was one I was looking at for a while. It just took a little while.”

Trevon Kemmerlin will play ball for the University of West Florida Argonauts.

Before he gets there he is working on getting bigger, stronger and faster.
