Reggie Johnson declared early for the NBA draft, but will not sign with an agent.

"The chance to play in the NBA is something that has been in my mind for a long time – since I was really young," Johnson said in a statement. "Now the chance has presented itself so I can see where I stand. If it doesn't feel right, I know I still have the opportunity to return to play college basketball."

The 6-foot-10, 300-pound Johnson was UM's leading rebounder and third-leading scorer this past season and shot 59.1 percent from the field.

He earned All-ACC Honorable Mention honors during the 2010-11 season.
