Brian Delance Johnson (born February 16, 1987) is an American football offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for the University of Houston. He played college football at Utah and was drafted by the New York Sentinels in the UFL Premiere Season Draft in 2009.
Johnson was born to parents Stacey and Shonna Johnson in Baytown, Texas. His father played college football for the UTEP Miners at the University of Texas, El Paso. Brian Johnson attended Robert E. Lee High School, where he lettered in football and basketball. During his senior year in 2003, in which he took over starting quarterback duties from Drew Tate, Johnson passed for 2,900 yards and 33 touchdowns, completed 71.6% of his passes, and rushed for 540 yards and 12 touchdowns. Johnson was named the district Most Valuable Player, first-team all-district, and second-team all-state.
After graduating early from Robert E. Lee High School Johnson was a two-star recruit coming out of high school, and not ranked among the top quarterback prospects of his class. Johnson was recruited by Utah, Illinois and Louisiana Tech.
As a true freshman in 2004, Johnson saw action in ten games as back-up to Heisman Trophy finalist Alex Smith. He passed for a touchdown and ran for another, and compiled a 129.7 passer rating.
