Tyrone "Ty" Johnson (born July 28, 1992) is an American professional basketball player.
Born and raised in Plainfield, New Jersey, Johnson played at Plainfield High School before transferring to Montrose Christian School for his senior year in an effort to position himself better for collegiate basketball.[1]
Prior to his freshman year at Villanova, Johnson broke his left foot.[2] Johnson averaged 3.3 points and 2.0 assists per game his first season with the Wildcats. He transferred to South Carolina during his sophomore year.[3] Johnson was forced to miss an entire year of eligibility due to playing in an exhibition game with Villanova.
