ASU's Tytus Howard Accepts Invite to Reese's Senior Bowl
Congrats, @levelstothis_2! Excited to get a player from 2 hours up the road from @BamaStateFB but proximity to Mobile had nothing to do with this invite—Howard’s talent and upside did. This dude can really slide his feet. The NFL wants to see him against the best of the best. pic.twitter.com/mNrTmeyUJy

Clarence McKinney named head football coach at Texas Southern
Clarence returns to Third Ward! He’s the former head coach at my alma mater @JackYatesHigh! https://t.co/qJB8MB6Jjs— rolandsmartin (@rolandsmartin) December 3, 2018
HOUSTON, Texas -- Clarence McKinney is returning to Houston to become the next head football coach at Texas Southern University. McKinney, who has served as Associate Head Coach and Running Backs Coach at the University of Arizona in 2018, has an extensive history in the Houston and 3rd Ward area. He was an award-winning Head Coach at Jack Yates High School prior to joining Kevin Sumlin's staff at the University of Houston in 2008.I love this hire. @CoachMckinney3 has been great at every stop he’s made. https://t.co/eTod67VakE— Jenny Dial Creech (@jennydialcreech) December 3, 2018
"We are beyond excited to bring in someone with the experience and success that Clarence McKinney has achieved at the highest levels of the collegiate ranks," said Kevin Granger, TSU's Interim Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics. "His coaching talent, his emphasis on developing the complete student-athlete, as well as his ability to recruit locally, regionally and nationally, gives TSU a distinct advantage as we move our program to the next level."
McKinney coached running backs for four seasons under Coach Sumlin at the University of Houston and also served as recruiting coordinator. He then joined Sumlin at Texas A&M, where he was the running backs coach for six years. In 2016, the Aggies produced the one of its greatest rushing seasons under McKinney's direction.
In addition to his running backs coach duties, McKinney served as the Aggies' Offensive Coordinator and play-caller for the 2013 Cotton Bowl and the 2013 regular season. Under his leadership, the Aggies led the SEC in passing, scoring and total offense, while setting school records for passing yards, touchdowns and completion percentage.
"I am happy to be returning to my hometown and former neighborhood to lead and develop the student-athletes in the football program at Texas Southern University," said McKinney. "I am looking forward to partnering with Dr. Lane and the administration, staff, student-athletes, alumni and fans to build the type of program we can all be proud of. I appreciate Dr. Lane and Kevin Granger presenting me with the opportunity to lead this program."
Prior to Texas A&M, McKinney served as Houston's recruiting coordinator in addition to overseeing the Cougar running backs. His four-year stay at Houston was highly successful as the Cougars compiled a 36-17 record and played in three bowl games. UH posted double-digit wins twice during his stay, including 2011's school-record 13 victories and bowl triumph over Penn State.
"Coach McKinney comes to TSU with incredible connections to the high school coaches in Houston and across the state," said TSU President Dr. Austin A. Lane. "He has a unique ability to recognize and recruit top talent into a program. I'd also like to congratulate Kevin Granger and the athletic department staff on a successful search that resulted in Coach McKinney joining our university."
During his years coaching high school football, McKinney compiled a 30-8 record at Yates, and he received several accolades, including being named a 2006 Gordon Wood 4A Coach of the Year Finalist.
McKinney also served as an assistant football coach at North Shore High School (2003-05) and Booker T. Washington High School (1997-2003) where he was named the 2003 Houston Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year. Under his leadership as head and assistant coach, McKinney helped many young men receive college scholarships and pursue their football dreams.
McKinney played football for three seasons at Montana State, before transferring to University of Mary (ND) where he received his degree in elementary education. He later earned a master's in educational administration from Prairie View A&M in 2002.
McKinney and his wife, Jakmica, have three children, Britney, Atallah and Quran.
