Johnson was announced the winner of the award between the semi-finals of the Southern Athletic Association's tournament, hosted by the Majors. 

Velvet enjoyed her finest season in the purple and white, scoring 439 points this season (16 ppg) and gave her 1,449 points for her career, the most in Millsaps' history. The McCool, Mississippi native also dished out 80 assists (3 apg) and 90 rebounds (3.2 rpg). Johnson was a true leader on the court and led the SAA with over 37 minutes played per game. The senior hit 34 percent of her threes, sixth best in the conference and hit over 85 percent of her free throws, third in the SAA. 

Johnson has made a profound impact on Millsaps' women's basketball in her four seasons. In the regular season finale, Johnson broke Erin Clark's 25-year school scoring record and has become the only person in Millsaps' history to top 1400 career points.

She helped lead the Majors to a 79-31 record in her four year career, including two 20-win seasons. The guard also led Millsaps to the conference tournament finals in three of her four seasons. Johnson also helped lead the Majors to two regular season SAA titles.
