Personal quarterback gurus John Paul “J.P.” Tillman and Darrel Colbert Jr. want to level the playing field for young, Black, Houston-area QBs with their workout sessions around town, and hope to mold the next crop of prime-time college and pro players.
Tillman, aka the “QB technician,” was one of the top quarterback recruits in the city at Cy Fair High School.
Tillman works with such players as Terrance Gipson (Southern Methodist University/Westfield HS), Malik Hornsby (University of Arkansas/Fort Bend Marshall HS), Dematrius Davis (back-to-back 6A State Championship MVP, Galena Park North Shore HS /Auburn commit), Ryan Stubblefield (Richmond-Foster HS/East Carolina commit) and Clifton McDowell (Spring HS University of Louisiana-Lafayette commit).
Colbert was a standout quarterback at Houston’s Lamar HS, where he compiled a 36-5 record as a starter and led Lamar to its first state championship appearance in over 50 years.
Colbert currently trains with D’Eriq King (University of Miami/Manvel HS), Kyle Trask (University of Florida/Manvel HS), James Foster (Texas A&M) and Kyron Drones (2019 5A State Championship MVP for Alvin-Shadow Creek HS, Baylor commit).
