June 20, 2016

RALEIGH – The NC State men's basketball team made another big addition to its roster with the signing of talented guard Markell Johnson, the program announced Monday evening.

Ranked No. 48 by ESPN and No. 58 by 247 Sports, the 6-1 guard from Cleveland, Ohio, averaged more than 30 points and seven rebounds per game for East Tech last season en route to earning Cleveland.com's Boys Basketball Player of the Year award.

"He's an explosive combo guard who is extremely athletic and can play multiple positions for us," said NC State head coach Mark Gottfried. "He's a great addition to our backcourt and we look forward to Markell joining our program."

Johnson joins the talented incoming recruiting class of five-star guard Dennis Smith Jr., five-star Turkish center Omer Yurtseven, and Darius Hicks.
