This is so sad to hear about and now read.

Was he the QB for Hawai when we had the home and home with them during the Shula years? IIRC, I was at the game in T-town and we lost???

I believe both games with Hawai'i where in Honolulu with the teams splitting those meetings (Bama won 21-16 then lost 37- 29.) I believe Timmy Chang was the QB.

Wasn't that when we were on bowl ban?

For the 2006 game he was the the quarterback. But we won.

Whatever happened to Jimmy Johns?

At one point he was in prison for dealing drugs (from the parking lot of the football complex, no less!)

Guessing he’s out from that by now, but no idea where he is today.

I think so. I think Bama schedule Hawai'i as an unoffical "bowl game" (since both games were in Honolulu) to give the players something to work/play for.

Saw an article a while back that he was out and trying to turn his life around.
