Johnson was among the Missouri Valley Conference scoring leaders all season, at 17.1 points per game. He has 85 steals, tied for third-most in the nation.
The Valley tabbed him as a first-team All-MVC pick, and All-Defensive Team pick and the MVC Defensive Player of the Year.
He landed in a two-team All-NABC lineup that had 14 of its 20 players from the Big Ten, including David Mirkovic and Keaton Wagler from the Fighting Illini.
Bradley’s Jaquan Johnson celebrates as overtime expires in the Braves’ 95-84 win over Belmont on Monday, Feb. 9, 2026 at Carver Arena.
