MEQUON, Wis. – The Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) announced its major awards and all-conference team for the 2021-2022 men's basketball season on Wednesday afternoon.

He started all 25 games for the Falcons in 2021-2022, averaging 20.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game while shooting 52.0 percent from the floor and 42.6 percent from behind the arc. Johnson was held to single-digit scoring on just one occasion this season while topping the 20-point plateau 17 times.
