San Diego State forward Keshad Johnson celebrates after scoring against Connecticut during the second half of the national championship game in the NCAA Tournament on Monday, April 3, 2023, in Houston.

San Diego State transfer Keshad Johnson is expected to commit to Arizona, according to three analysts who logged picks Friday in 247's Crystal Ball.

On3's Kentucky Sports Radio site also quoted sources saying "Arizona has emerged as the likely landing spot for Johnson."

Johnson is expected to announce his next destination this weekend.

Since announcing last month he would leave the Aztecs, Johnson has visited USC, Oklahoma, Arizona and Kentucky. He shared video of his visit to Tucson via Instagram.

A 6-7, 225-pound veteran of four seasons at SDSU who announced his departure on April 12, Johnson started at power forward for the Aztecs during their run to the national championship game last season. He averaged 7.7 points, 5.0 rebounds while shooting 53.2% overall and 26.2% from 3-point range.

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Johnson became a fan favorite for acrobatic dunks and coast-to-coast runs. His 14 points against UConn in the national championship game led the Aztecs.

At Arizona, Johnson could fill the hybrid forward spot vacated by Cedric Henderson, who started at small forward for the second half of last season. The Wildcats have 10 players expected for next season as of now, after landing wing Jaden Bradley from Alabama via the transfer portal while also picking up big man Motiejus Krivas and slick-shooting wing Paulius Murauskas from Lithuania.
