"I have known Archie since my playing days at UAB back in the '80s... He was a tremendous player and then transitioned into a very successful HS coach!! More importantly, Archie has always been a man of high character that has always put others before himself. A true 'servant leader' who has a great understanding of what it takes to really help people. Proud to call him my brother."

"Archie Johnson is one of the finest student-athletes we have ever had play basketball here at UAB and graduate from UAB. He always came to the practice floor with a positive attitude, ready to play hard and try to improve his game. I think Archie has led his life that way as being a very positive person trying to help others, and all of us here at UAB are very proud of him"
