Texans QB Coach Jerrod Johnson to have jersey retired by Humble High School

Jerrod Johnson is being honored before the Houston Texans take on the Indianapolis Colts.

Jerrod Johnson is being honored before the start of the regular season.

Johnson, who enters his second year as the Houston Texans quarterbacks coach, will have his high jersey number retired at Humble High School this Saturday before the Wildcats take on Klein Forest, according to The Houston Chronicle’s Jon Poorman.

He is one of six former players to receive the honor heading into the Wildcats’ 2024 season.

Johnson was among the top players in Humble football history, earning Touchdown Club of Houston Offensive Player of the Year honors as a senior in 2005. He continued his career at Texas A&M, where he threw for 8,011 yards and 67 touchdowns in three seasons as the Aggies’ starter. After several stops playing professionally, Johnson retired from the sport in 2016.

He was hired alongside now-Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans by the San Francisco 49ers as part of the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship. Most recently, he served as the Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach.

While Johnson’s jersey will officially be retired at the game, the former Wildcat star won’t attend the game since he’ll be traveling to Indianapolis for Sunday’s season opener against the Colts.
