Marshawn Lynch, Josh Johnson, Rickey Henderson, Alexis Gray-Lawson and others into Oakland Tech’s Hall of Fame
Josh Johnson has played for 17 teams during a 15-year pro career as a quarterback, but the 36-year-old has never thought of anywhere but Oakland as his home.
On Friday night, Oakland Tech honored Johnson, his cousin, Marshawn Lynch, baseball legend Rickey Henderson and former Cal stars Leon Powe and Alexis Gray-Lawson as part of the school’s first Hall of Fame class. Lynch ran for 1,722 yards and 23 touchdowns on that Tech squad before moving on to Cal and a long NFL career as “Beast Mode.”
Before the ceremony, which did not include Henderson and Powe, Johnson watched his daughter Jhai score nine points for Tech in a 72-24 win over Oakland.
