GAINESVILLE, Fla. — If sidelined Florida basketball star Keyontae Johnson is unable to pursue a professional career because of health concerns, he still could have lifetime financial security after he leaves the Gators.
The Associated Press reported late Wednesday that Johnson holds a $5 million insurance policy through the NCAA to guarantee future earnings in case injury ended his promising career before he profited professionally.
Johnson has not played basketball and his physical activities have been strictly limited by doctors since his Dec. 12, 2020 collapse on the court at Florida State.
