2023-24 stats at USC: Played in 31 games with 28 starts. Averaged 31.0 minutes, 10.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game. 

2024-25 stats at UCLA: Started 34 games. Averaged 29.0 minutes, 7.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game. 

Evaluation: Kobe Johnson was a captain at USC, but after the coaching change, he switched sides in the Crosstown Showdown to play his final year of eligibility at UCLA. While Johnson’s numbers were mostly down from his junior season at USC, the Bruins went 2-0 against the Trojans this year and advanced to the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament. Johnson was a big part of the team’s success.
