Former LSU DL coach Dennis Johnson to join Dave Aranda's staff at Baylor
One of the most recognized recruiters in the country, Dennis Johnson is expected to join Dave Aranda’s staff at Baylor, SicEm365 has learned. After three years as an on-field assistant, Johnson spent the 2019 season as an analyst after leg injuries prevented him from being able to coach on the field.
Baylor has not confirmed the hiring of Johnson at the time of this report.

Johnson began his time on the field for the Tigers in 2016 coaching the outside linebackers, but was promoted in 2018 and began coaching the defensive line. Johnson was replaced by Bill Johnson for the 2019 season after sustaining injuries.
Johnson worked under new Baylor head coach and then LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda for four seasons at LSU from 2016-2019. Prior to his full-time position in Baton Rouge, Johnson worked as a grad assistant at Northwestern State (2012-2013) and at LSU (2014-2015).
An LSU alum, Johnson played on the defensive line as a backup in 19 games over three years, finishing his career with 11 tackles and 1.0 tackle for loss. A three-year letterwinner for LSU from 2009-11, Johnson joined the Tigers in 2008 after transferring from Itawamba Community College in Mississippi.
According to his LSU profile, Johnson “is noted as talented recruiter with an innate ability to land big-time recruits. He has played a pivotal role in LSU’s last three signing classes.”
