Detroit King Elevates Assistant Coach to Coordinator Role
Detroit King Crusaders have promoted assistant coach Michael Johnson to defensive coordinator, a move that comes after four seasons developing the program's defense. The Crusaders, a Division 2 powerhouse in the Detroit area, have seen significant improvement under Johnson's guidance, including a 2023 regular season record of 8-2. Johnson's elevation is expected to bolster the team's recruiting efforts, particularly in the defensive backfield, where he has a strong reputation for identifying and developing talent. The move also sets the stage for a competitive 2026 season, as the Crusaders look to build on their recent success and challenge for a state championship. The team's summer camp is set to begin in mid-July, with Johnson at the helm of the defensive unit.
