Kansas State Adds Bowling Green Transfer Marcus Johnson

Kansas State has added forward Marcus Johnson, a 6-foot-7, 265-pound senior from Bowling Green, to their basketball roster for the 2025-26 season. Johnson led Bowling Green in scoring with 16.2 points per game last season, showcasing his shooting ability by hitting 39.4% of his three-point attempts and nearly 90% of his free throws. He transferred from Division II Wheeling University, where he averaged 21.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game and earned several All-Region honors. Johnson's addition marks the fifth transfer for Kansas State this offseason as head coach Jerome Tang, a former Baylor assistant who has revitalized the Wildcats, continues to build a competitive team. Tang's squad aims to return to the NCAA Tournament and has already made strides, having reached the Sweet 16 last season. Johnson's strong perimeter shooting and scoring will complement Kansas State's frontcourt, especially as the team awaits NCAA decisions on other transfer eligibilities.
