Tennessee State’s Intense 6’3” Guard with High-Steal Drive and High School Scoring Legacy
Monty Johal, a 6’3”, 185-lb guard for Tennessee State, brings more than stats: he’s the all-time career scoring leader at Springfield High (2,583 points, 23.27 avg), proving elite shot creation from youth. In the 2021-22 season, he averaged 5.0 PPG, 2.1 REB, 1.2 AST, and 0.7 STL, starting 10 of 23 games and ranking third on the team in assists (28). His 57.1% field shooting in a standout game (9 pts, 4 reb, 2 ast) shows efficient two-point aggression. Though his 2025-26 FG% dipped to 36.1%, his intensity, defensive hustle (2.1 steals per 31.9 mins), and high school pedigree make him a high-fit, low-risk guard for teams needing energy, steals, and scoring potential off the bench. No major injury history reported.
