Clemson guard Efrem "Butta" Johnson has inked a deal with Virginia Tech, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. Johnson played for Clemson from 2022 to 2025 after three seasons at UAB. Last season, he suited up for 35 games, delivering 6.3 points, 2.1 rebounds, and one assist in nine starts. Over his three-year UAB tenure, the Alabama native averaged 8.1 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.
A recent U.S. District Court of Colorado ruling granted extra eligibility to all high school athletes from the 2022 class who exhausted four seasons of eligibility this spring. Johnson is among the many players from that class who will now have an additional year to play. Notable others who received the extra year include Jaxon Kohler (BYU), Donovan Dent (LSU), Mark Mitchell (Kentucky), and AJ Storr (UNLV).
