Jerome Johnson

“Hardwork, dedication, plus patience” isn’t just a line from a Nipsey song; they are traits that have been instilled in Jerome since he was a young pup playing youth sports in his hometown of South Central LA.

After helping his Alma mater Dorsey high school win a 4A city championship, he then went on to play at the University of Oregon (2003-2004) and then to The University of Nevada graduating with a BA in Communications (2006-2008). From there, Jerome had a 3 year run in the NFL playing briefly for the St Louis (now LA) Rams, NY Giants and AZ cardinals.

After starting a family and experiencing the highs and lows that came with his own NFL career, Jerome realized that his true passion and purpose is in helping the youth become the best that they can be. “Each one, teach one” is a phrase that you will hear come from his mouth often. Jerome is truly passionate about passing down all of the information that he has learned over the years and making a lasting impact on the youth in his community, for now and generations to come.

Jerome has been a coach, mentor, and go-to for many people in his community by training and coaching high school and the youth for over 10 years. He prides himself on always being honest, positive and encouraging and wants nothing more than to teach those same skills and qualities to kids to apply on and off the field.
