Tessa Johnson is fresh off her third season with South Carolina. The Gamecocks’ star is enjoying the offseason after a tedious 2025-26 campaign that ended with a loss in the national championship game against the UCLA Bruins.

Johnson posted a TikTok of herself in an all-denim outfit, flaunting her fit physique. The video was posted to her 103,500 followers six days ago.

Johnson is one of just two starters remaining in Dawn Staley’s team from the just-concluded season. Raven Johnson, Madina Okot and Ta’Niya Latson were all selected in the 2026 WNBA draft.

The Indiana Fever selected Johnson with the 10th pick, the Atlanta Dream chose Okot at No. 13th, while the Los Angeles Sparks selected Latson in the second round. It leaves Joyce Edwards and Tessa Johnson as the only starters returning for the 2026-27 season.

Tessa Johnson had an impressive 2025-26 season

Tessa Johnson might have been a first-round pick in the 2026 WNBA draft if she were eligible. She amassed a stat line of 12.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. She also made a team high 44.8% of her three-point attempts.

Johnson announced herself to the collegiate scene by scoring 19 points in an 87–75 win over Iowa at the 2024 national championship game. She’s since grown into her role as a starting guard on a stacked roster.

CBS Sports predicts that Johnson will be the No. 11 pick in the 2027 draft via their “Way-too-early 2027 WNBA Mock Draft” list. The South Carolina Gamecocks guard showcased her elite shooting and ability to make contested shots. She’s viewed as one of the best pure shooters in her class.

Johnson could develop in some areas, such as rebounding, ball retention, and defense. The upcoming campaign could be an important one for the promising combo guard.
