Edison State Chargers
Johnson Advances to NCAA DII University

Marcus Johnson, of Lexington, Kentucky, has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball at the Limestone University in South Carolina following his successful career at Edison State Community College.

"Marcus is a great example of a guy who came in and really took the coaching and transferred that to the field," said Edison State head baseball coach Scott Jones. "He is an outstanding competitor and has the character to match. He will be a great asset to Limestone."

Johnson, a two-year starting left-handed pitcher, will leave the Charger baseball program as the career and single-season strikeout record holder. In his career, Johnson threw 98.2 IP with 135 Ks, 73 hits, 43 BB, and 3.01 ERA. He received OCCAC Pitcher of the Week honors twice in his career and was named All-OCCAC Second Team following the 2018 season.

Johnson will be the eighth Edison State baseball player in the last three seasons to advance his career beyond the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

"We wish Marcus the best of luck with his baseball career and future," added Coach Jones.

While attending Limestone University, Johnson will continue working toward bachelor's degree.

The Limestone University baseball program competes as Division II members of the National College Athletic Association (NCAA).
