AUSTIN, Texas — University of Texas Men's Basketball signee Tre Johnson is one of 24 players selected to compete in the 47th annual McDonald's All-American Game this April in Houston, the McDonald's All-American Games Selection Committee announced Tuesday afternoon.

Johnson will become the 23rd player in UT program history to play in the McDonald's All-American Game. Texas also has had two signees (C.J. Miles in 2005, Ron Holland in 2023) who participated in the McDonald's All-American Game but elected to turn professional after high school.
