Ex-Ad, now Aggie, is TN 4A Player of Year

Johnston goes from back-to-back titles to Texas A&M

Jett Johnston, a star infielder/pitcher for the two-time defending Division I-4A state champion Farragut Admirals who’s now a freshman in the Southeastern Conference at Texas A&M, recently was named Class 4A Player of the Year statewide in 2023 by Tennessee Baseball Coaches Association.

In the 2023 postseason, which culminated with a 6-0 victory against neighborhood rival Hardin Valley Academy in the Class 4A state title game at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro last May, Jett hit .489 for the Admirals with eight home runs and 24 RBI while sporting an unblemished 0.00 earned run average on the mound.

A transfer from Texas who played his final two high school seasons for head coach Matt Buckner’s program, Johnston also helped the Ads win the 2022 4A state crown.
