Efrem “Butta” Johnson on Tuesday became the second UAB basketball player in as many days to enter the NCAA transfer portal.

The 6-foot-4 Johnson, who has one season of eligibility remaining, started 21 of 37 games at guard for the Blazers this season and 46 games total the last three years. The Huntsville native, a Grissom High School graduate, averaged 8.8 points per game and shot 86% on free throws this season.

Johnson joins two-time All-AAC forward Yaxel Lendeborg as UAB players to enter the portal this week. The Blazers finished 24-13 and reached the NIT quarterfinals this season.
