Larry Johnson (American football coach)
A native of Williamston, North Carolina, Johnson was a standout linebacker at Elizabeth City State University,[1] earning NAIA All-America honors there in 1973.From 1977 to 1991, Johnson's teams at Maurice J. McDonough High School in Pomfret, Maryland were annually ranked among the top squads in the Washington Metropolitan Area.In that time, Johnson developed a reputation for being a premier blue chip recruiter, consistently landing top talent from the mid-Atlantic states.He was instrumental in the development of five first-team All-Americans there: Devon Still, first-round NFL draft choices Tamba Hali, Michael Haynes, and Jimmy Kennedy, and former first-overall selection Courtney Brown.[8] Johnson is also lauded for developing the talents of recently drafted defensive linemen such as Sam Hubbard, Dre'Mont Jones, Zach Harrison, Tyquan Lewis, Tommy Togiai, Jonathon Cooper, and Tyreke Smith.
