NEWARK, Del. – University of Delaware men's basketball head coach Martin Ingelsby has announced that Ryan Johnson has joined the Blue Hens program as a graduate transfer.

He appeared in 29 games for the Bears in 2017-18, averaging 2.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game while adding 12 assists and 10 steals. Johnson scored a season-high 11 points in a win over Toccoa Falls for Mercer, which finished 19-15 overall and 11-7 in the Southern Conference.
