His two elder sisters, Jamie and Jaylin, as well as his younger sister, Jacey, all played significant roles in his upbringing. Coming up, Johnson faced his fear of engaging in sporting events. The little boy from Richmond was encouraged to play basketball by his supportive friends and family. Since then, he has been passionate about the sport.

Ramon was chosen as the rooster for the 2021-22 season at Arizona State University (ASU) and is only a true freshman. Fans eagerly awaited his games in anticipation of his signature fast pull-up jumper and silky three-point stroke.
Johnson, who stands at 6 feet 4 inches tall, has a reputation as a long and agile scorer who has no trouble launching long-range shots.

During his time with the No. 2-ranked Sparta (30-3), Johnson averaged 12.5 points and 5.0 rebounds per game. Jones evaluated the recruit for ASU.

He remembered Wildcat’s high-tempo defense, constant ball movement, and players’ clear understanding of their roles.
Most scouting reports had Johnson as a top-50 recruit with four stars, but his coach claims that Johnson’ stock would be better now if he hadn’t missed out on spring and summer due to the coronavirus.
