steady Johnnie guard with room to pop
A.J. McCleery is a 6-foot-2 junior guard for St. John’s (MN) who has been on the roster and in the rotation as a depth piece, with ESPN listing him at 6'2", 195 pounds and noting he appeared in one game in the 2025-26 season with 4 minutes and 1 rebound. He’s a local Mahtomedi product and an academically recognized finance major, which usually signals a mature, reliable team-first profile more than a stats-hunting one. If you want a guard who brings continuity, composure, and accountability, he’s a fit; if you need instant offense, he’s not yet that guy.
