David Johnson (born June 28, 1986) is an American former college football quarterback. He played for the Golden Hurricane at the University of Tulsa, where he was the starting quarterback for the 2008 season, after several years as a backup. Johnson finished his senior season as the second-most efficient passer in the nation, behind only Heisman Trophy-winner Sam Bradford of Oklahoma. Johnson himself was mentioned as a Heisman contender by several sources throughout that season.
David Johnson was born on June 28, 1986 in Portland, Oregon. He attended Southridge High School in Beaverton, Oregon, where he played football as a quarterback. During his senior year in 2003, he completed 110 of 181 pass attempts for 1,640 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also rushed for 375 yards and four touchdowns. As a college prospect, he was overshadowed by Erik Ainge of nearby Glencoe High School, who eventually played as a starting quarterback at Tennessee. As such, Johnson was not recruited by any Division I schools, and so he began a campaign to promote himself as a prospect. The only school that showed an interest was the University of Tulsa. He was contacted by their recruiting coordinator, Matt Wells, who eventually offered Johnson a scholarship.
