How I came to be Stanford football’s first black recruit Morrison Warren '65
...
Stanford had two black football players before me. Ernest Houston Johnson enrolled at Stanford in 1891, its first year of existence, and played one season. Ernest was ignored when he first tried to enroll, but Jane Lathrop Stanford interceded.

Tom Williams, a walk-on running back in 1958, was the first in the modern era. This was after Eddie Tucker ['53] became the first recruited black athlete in Stanford history, joining the basketball team in 1950. Harry McCalla, a star distance runner, was a year ahead of me.
