JEREMY JOHNSON

Jeremy Johnson played three seasons for the Dirtbags and the experience and opportunities led him to continue his career at High Point University. After High Point University, he knew that he wanted to stay involved in the game and started coaching at Rocky Mount High School.

At Rocky Mount High School, he coached two former Dirtbags (Evan Hart - NC A&T and Ben Sieracki - Elon) and that led him to an opportunity at North Carolina Wesleyan College as the pitching coach.

After North Carolina Wesleyan, he headed to Tarboro High School, where he has spent the last six seasons. Coaching allows him to share the knowledge that was shared by all the coaches that have had a profound impact on his life.
