Kerron Johnson ('13) begins his fourth year on the Belmont coaching staff in 2025-26.

He was elevated to assistant coach May 28, 2024.

Johnson, one of the most decorated players in program history and a Belmont Hall of Fame inductee, spent the previous two seasons as director of player development. The Huntsville, Alabama native has been part of three consecutive 20-win seasons as the Bruins elevated to the Missouri Valley Conference – extending Belmont’s streak of 20-win seasons to 15, dating back to Johnson’s playing career.
 
Johnson worked closely with two-time all-conference guard Ben Sheppard, who was selected No. 26 by the Indiana Pacers in the 2023 NBA Draft.
 
He has also played an instrumental role in the development of numerous Bruin lead guards, most notably Ja'Kobi Gillespie, Keishawn Davidson, Carter Whitt, and Brody Peebles.
 
Johnson will also see an increased role in game planning, scouting reports and recruiting.

During his Bruin playing career, the point guard led Belmont to conference championships in four consecutive seasons, including trips to the NCAA tournament in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The 2011 Belmont team went 30-5, winning conference games by an average of nearly 21 points per game, while the 2013 Belmont team was ranked No. 24 in the RPI.

Johnson ranks among Belmont career leaders in points (1,388), assists (515), steals (206) and free throws made (511).

Johnson is among an exclusive list of players in college basketball history to earn conference tournament Most Valuable Player honors in two different leagues (Atlantic Sun, 2012; OVC, 2013).

His game-tying and game-winning shots in the 2013 OVC Championship victory over Murray State rank among the most recognizable moments in program history.

The Huntsville, Alabama native was named 2009 Alabama Mr. Basketball.

He was inducted into the Belmont Athletic Hall of Fame in 2021.

Johnson and his wife, Gina, live in Nashville. The couple has two children.
