Worcester State’s defensive anchor who also brings efficient scoring pop
In the 2025-26 season, Johnny Annan emerged as a senior forward who gives Worcester State two-way value: he was named MASCAC Defensive Player of the Year and also flashed efficient offense, including a 27-point outing on 10-for-11 shooting and a 21-point NCAA tournament game. His calling card is physical, high-motor play with real versatility—rebounds, steals, and opportunistic scoring—while his Worcester roots and veteran presence add leadership and toughness that stats only hint at. He looks like a smart fit for teams needing a competitive, defense-first wing/forward with sneaky offensive upside.
