In a state that ranges from five-star senior Maddyn Greenway to a loaded 2028 class, sophomore Chloe Johnson from Duluth Marshall is rising to the top

Chloe Johnson, who plays on All Iowa Attack in the AAU season, averaged 28.9 points per game this past season as a freshman at Duluth Marshall, surpassed 2,000 career points and now has more than 30 scholarship offers, including the Gophers and teams from every power conference.

Duluth’s Chloe Johnson first gained notoriety on social media as a seventh-grader playing AAU basketball at the 17-under level.

Constantly striving for ways to improve since then, Johnson, now a sophomore, went from promising middle school sensation in northern Minnesota to being in the conversation for overall No. 1 prospect in the country for the 2028 class.

This summer, the 6-foot Duluth Marshall star was ranked by ESPN as the top point guard and third-best player in the country, the highest rating for a Minnesota native since former Hopkins, Connecticut and now WNBA guard Paige Bueckers was No. 1 in 2020.
