DeSoto Eagles Defensive Coordinator Linked to Rival School
DeSoto Eagles defensive coordinator, James Johnson, has been rumored to be a top candidate for the same position at rival Mansfield Tigers. Johnson, who has been with DeSoto for six seasons, has played a crucial role in the Eagles' 6A state title run in 2022. Under his guidance, the Eagles' defense has consistently ranked among the top in the state, with a program record 20 consecutive games holding opponents to 20 or fewer points. Johnson's departure would be a significant blow to the Eagles' recruiting efforts, as he has been instrumental in securing commitments from top defensive prospects in the region. The Tigers, who have struggled to find consistency on defense, would be wise to make a move for Johnson before the start of the season.
