Dallion Johnson- 2020 Gatorade Player of the Year talks Penn State, FGCU and Basketball Future

"Not Even D2" is joined by 2020 Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year, Dallion Johnson, on this week's episode. Phillips Andover all-time leading scorer was a 3 star in HS and would commit to Penn State to play college basketball. After playing 3 years at Penn State, and making one NCAA tournament appearance, Dallion would transfer to play for former Penn State head coach at Florida Gulf Coast University. In the 2023-24 season Dallion averaged 10.8 points per game while shooting just under 40% from 3. Hear about Dallion's journey from being a high school star to now playing for the FGCU Eagles, his historic game winner over #7 FAU, and what his goals for himself and the Eagles are ahead of the 2024-25 season.
