I got a chance to see Hayden Johnson Hayden Johnson 6'2" | SG/PG Northridge | 2026 State IN in the first round of the Phil Cox Memorial Tournament at Kokomo HS last Tuesday, and he was by far one of the best shot-makers in the gym that entire day. He hit multiple threes in Northridge’s win over Merrillville, finishing the game with 14 points. Johnson is a long, lanky wing who has an aggressive outside jumper while also using his frame to make plays inside. The duo of him and Brady Scholl Brady Scholl 6'6" | C Northridge | 2026 State IN makes Northridge such a tough team to play against.

A sharpshooting senior guard for the Raiders, Johnson scored a team-leading 21 points in an impressive 43-31 win over Brownsburg last weekend. The 6’2″ guard is a big part of Northridge’s impressive 5-0 start to the season.

Johnson holds an offer from Goshen and has visited a few Division III programs so his recruitment has some traction, but small college programs should continue to be on this 6’2″ guard from Northridge High School. He shoots it very well from beyond the arc and handles it well enough to offer some secondary playmaking in the backcourt. Look for him to have a big senior year for what should, once again, be a very good Northridge team.

Johnson shot 45-107 (42.1%) from three-point range as a junior proving himself as one of the top shooting specialists in northern Indiana. He has a quick release, excellent footwork on the perimeter, and is capable of making them on the move as well. This is a guy who understands his role on the perimeter and fills it very, very well. If you need a guy to knock down three-point shots take a look at Johnson at Northridge High School.

If you are going to have an elite skill making it be catching and shooting gives you a chance to be a legitimate prospect. Johnson is exactly that and he showed it time and time again over the summer for 5 Star Basketball 16u. The Northridge High School guard will factor into what should be a very good team this season. He makes his debut at #129 in our Prep Hoops Indiana Class of 2026 Prospect Rankings.
