Reno Huskies Hire New Wide Receivers Coach
📍 Reno Huskies·Wednesday, July 15, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Reno Huskies have hired former University of Nevada assistant coach, Alex Johnson, as their new wide receivers coach. Johnson replaces outgoing coach, Mike Smith, who left for a college opportunity. The Huskies, a 5A program, finished last season with a 6-5 record and a playoff appearance. Johnson's hiring is seen as a significant boost to the program's recruiting efforts, particularly in the state's top talent-rich regions. The addition of Johnson's expertise is expected to pay dividends in the passing game, which was a weakness for the Huskies last season. With the start of August camp just around the corner, Johnson is already working to implement his system and develop chemistry with the team's returning receivers.
