Texas Tech to hire Justin Johnson as next wide receiver coach

Texas Tech is set to hire Baylor assistant Justin Johnson as the next wide receiver coach and assistant head coach, a source confirms to DCTF. Johnson was an assistant alongside Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire for a couple of seasons in Waco. Johnson coached the Bears running backs since 2020, one of the strengths of the offense. He also had stints at Texas A&M and Houston. Johnson replaces Emmett Jones, who took the wide receiver coach and passing game coordinator gig at Oklahoma. 

First reported by FootballScoop. Johnson was a 2022 member of DCTF's 40 under 40 list in the summer magazine. A native of Richardson, Johnson was a multiple-year lettermen at Houston and an all-conference first-team selection in 2011.
