VMI’s small but scrappy bench spark with vocal-leader vibes
Jake Johnston is a senior guard for VMI whose value goes beyond box scores: he’s been described by the program as a vocal leader off the bench who brings energy when he checks in, and he earned VMI’s Charles R. Brown Jr. Award in 2023-24 for his contributions. In the 2023-24 season, his statistical line was modest, but his role was clearly about pace, communication, and toughness—exactly the kind of glue-guy profile coaches love when they need a steadying presence and a competitive edge.
