Delvon Johnson played college basketball at Western Illinois University during the 2007-08 season before moving to Indian Hills Community College for 2008-09, then transferring to the University of Arkansas, where he competed across the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons.
Johnson suited up for Western Illinois in 2007-08, appearing in 23 games and making two starts while totaling 59 points and 85 rebounds across the season, and he hit 24-of-47 from the field for a .511 field goal percentage that ranked as the most accurate on the team that year.
During that 2007-08 Western Illinois season, his single-game scoring high was 10 points at Oakland on February 23, 2008, and he set a season best of nine rebounds against Centenary on February 16, 2008 while also leading Western Illinois in rebounding in two different games across the schedule.
For the 2008-09 season, Johnson played at Indian Hills Community College, and recruiting listings for his JUCO year identify him as a 2009 class junior college signee who committed to Arkansas out of Indian Hills CC before making the jump back to Division I.
Johnson joined Arkansas for the 2009-10 season and played in 32 games with five starts, averaging 13.3 minutes per game while contributing 2.6 points and 2.4 rebounds per contest and shooting 57.1 percent from the field across the season.
In the 2010-11 season at Arkansas, he appeared in 31 games and averaged 28.3 minutes per game while producing 9.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, and his season included 91 total blocks across those 31 games, which worked out to 2.94 blocks per game and ranks as the second-highest single-season blocks-per-game rate in Arkansas program records.
Across that 2010-11 Arkansas campaign, Johnson recorded a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds against Mississippi Valley State on December 15, 2010, and he also posted a season-high 14 rebounds against Troy on December 4, 2010 while adding additional 13-rebound games against UAB on November 26, 2010 and North Carolina A&T on December 29, 2010.
Johnson’s late-2010 stretch included three straight double-figure rebounding games, grabbing 14 rebounds versus Troy on December 4, 2010, 12 rebounds versus Seton Hall on December 8, 2010, and 10 rebounds versus Mississippi Valley State on December 15, 2010, marking one of Arkansas’ noted multi-game runs of double-figure rebounding in program tracking.

READ MOREFive to ten years ago, if an Australian headed to Japan, it was typically because of not making NBL roster spots. Players like Venky Jois, Daniel Dillon and Rhys Vague fit this profile.
