LAKE CHARLES – McNeese men's basketball head coach Bill Armstrong added his third, four-star signee to his team on Monday with the signing of Larry Johnson to the squad.
 
A 6-foot-4, 200-pound redshirt freshman transfer from Creighton, Johnson will have four years of eligibility remaining.
 
He signed with the Blue Jays out of high school over others such as St. Johns, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois and Mississippi State, just to name a few.
 
A standout at Southern California Academy in Santa Clarita, Calif., Johnson is a tough, physical guard who is an excellent defender. He did not see any playing time at Creighton this past season.
 
"Larry is an exceptionally talented guard with elite athleticism and the ability to score at all three levels," said Armstrong. "He's a high-level finisher with a rate ability to convert with either hand through contact. He's a dynamic athlete and impactful defender and will bring energy on both ends of the floor."
 
Johnson joins two other former four-star recruits and transfers that have signed with the Cowboys – 6-7 forward Jacolb Fredson-Cole from Oklahoma and 6-10 forward Jerrell Colbert out of SMU.
