My name is Kharon Scruggs and I am still looking for a school.
I’m a 6’0” PG that can create for other’s but I can also score the ball at anytime of the game. These are highlights from the EPL playoffs where I averaged |16.5 PPG| 5 RPG| on 53% FG| 50% from the 3. Very efficient!

The 6’5” off guard can score it in bunches and from all over when he gets it going. Doesn’t need much space and can create off the bounce.
Has shown time & time his value!

Nate Johnson (Detroit Mercy)
Breakout Candidate for the 2025–26 College Basketball Season
In the world of college basketball, it's often the under-the-radar players who make the biggest leaps. One name you should keep an eye on this season is Nate Johnson, a 6’5” guard from Detroit Mercy. Coming off a quietly impactful freshman campaign, Johnson is poised for a breakout sophomore season in the Horizon League.
2024–25 Season Snapshot
As a freshman, Johnson played in 32 games, starting 31 of them, and averaged nearly 30 minutes per contest. He posted 8.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game. While shooting 40.4% from the field and just under 30% from three, he still managed to emerge as one of the most promising players on a rebuilding Detroit Mercy squad.
His performance didn’t go unnoticed — he earned Horizon League All-Freshman Team honors and was named Freshman of the Week twice.
Why Johnson Is Poised to Break Out
Expanded Role on a Young Team
With several departures and roster changes, Detroit Mercy is looking to reestablish its identity. Johnson, now an experienced sophomore, is expected to take on more responsibility on both ends of the floor. As the team’s most proven returning player, he’ll be asked to lead — not just contribute.
Two-Way Potential
Johnson brings more than scoring to the court. He’s a versatile defender who rebounds well for his position and plays with high energy. His size allows him to guard multiple positions, and his instincts on defense already made an impact last season. If he improves his shooting consistency, especially from deep, he could become a true two-way weapon.
Proven Production in Year One
Even as a freshman, Johnson made a significant impact — he was one of the team’s top rebounders, a steady defensive presence, and someone the coaching staff trusted to play heavy minutes. That trust and experience will pay dividends in his second season, as he’s expected to be one of the primary options offensively and a leader in the locker room.
What to Watch in 2025–26
The next step in Johnson’s development will be building on his offensive confidence and consistency. If he can raise his three-point percentage into the mid-30s and continue to polish his all-around game, he’ll be an even tougher matchup on the perimeter. He’s also shown flashes of playmaking ability, and with more touches this season, he’ll have chances to create both for himself and others.
Leadership will play a big role, too. With a young team and a new foundation taking shape, Johnson’s voice and energy could become the catalyst for a more competitive and confident Detroit Mercy squad.
Bottom Line
Nate Johnson may not have made national headlines yet, but his freshman season hinted at something special. With a well-rounded skill set, relentless motor, and expanding opportunity, he is in a prime position to emerge as Detroit Mercy’s breakout star in 2025–26.
He’s the type of player who can quietly turn into an All-Conference candidate — and possibly ignite a turnaround for a Titans program searching for a new era of relevance.
Watch closely. The Nate Johnson era might just be beginning.
