Jerrod Johnson Will Be Showing Off The Arm

Jerrod Johnson will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at tomorrow's Houston Astros-Chicago Cubs game at the Juice Box, Minute Maid Park in Houston. Tomorrow is Aggie Night, with $2 from ticket proceeds going to The Howdy Club, the Houston A&M Club, and the Reveille Club.

Jerrod came to A&M as a multi-sport athlete, signing on to play both football and basketball. After one season of playing basketball, he decided to focus on football. When Jerrod was at Humble High School, he also was a pitcher on the baseball team.

Johnson performed last season in his first action as starting QB after replacing the injured Stephen McGee three games into the season, setting a school record with 21 TD passes. For his efforts, he was named honorable mention Sophomore All-American by College Football News.

The Lone Star Showdown Trophy, which A&M retained after tying texas in all-sports competition between the two schools this year, will also be presented at the ballpark.

First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
