Texas State junior forward Cameron Johnson is a big part of the Bobcats game plan, and he's putting up career best numbers.

"When you guard him with single coverage, he's going to score," Bobcats head coach Doug Davalos said.

Johnson is the Bobcats' leading scorer and rebounder. As a three-year letterman, he's a veteran leader of the program.

"My teammates have voted me captain this year. It's something that I actually had a goal set when I came to Texas State, and so I think I'm stepping into that role pretty well," Johnson said.

Johnson fills many roles maximizing his potential as a student athlete.

He majors in business management and participates in a variety of activities, including Student Government, Black Men United and the Foundations of Excellence Committee.

"All of the organizations that I'm a part of teach me leadership type skills, and I apply that on the basketball court and off the basketball court," Johnson said.

"He's one of the most mature young men that I've coached in terms of looking for his life beyond basketball. I'm just glad that he's also looking at his life with basketball right now as well," Davalos said.

His balance of talent puts him in a position to lead the Bobcats to the Southland Conference Tournament. He's also pursuing even bigger goals.

"I think everything will start to develop towards the end of this season - towards next season - but if I get a chance to play professionally, that's definitely something that I want to do," Johnson said.
