Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston, a name that’s prominent not just in Dallas and not just in the NFL but in the broadcasting world as well. But there’s more to him than just his football legacy with the Dallas Cowboys and Fox. From three-time Super Bowl champion and two-time Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl to broadcasting on Fox, the former running back has come a long way.

Johnston has built a beautiful life off the field too, especially with his wife, Diane Johnston. Together, the Johnston household has built a home in Dallas and you can say that the family is at the heart of everything that they do. But it’s not just Daryl and Diane who complete the family. Of course! It’s their kids because Dad Daryl knows there’s something bigger out there than racking a touchdown on the field.

Who is Daryl Johnston’s daughter?

Over a decade with the Dallas team and over a couple of decades in the broadcasting career? Well, let’s shift the spotlight to the people closest to Johnston. Starting with his daughter, Evan Johnston, who has certainly made her mark in her own right. Another athlete in the Johnston family, you ask? Well, it’s his little girl who’s following in her father’s footsteps in the sports world.

Though Evan took a different route than the football. Back in 2o19, Evan announced that she was committed to playing lacrosse at Syracuse. And here’s the kicker; it’s the same place where her dad played college football for four years. Now that’s what we call following in her father’s footsteps, right? Before committing to her dad’s alma mater, Evan attended The Hockaday School where she made a name for herself in Lacrosse.

Well, what’s more interesting is the bond that Evan shares with her dad. Daryl is her biggest cheerleader. And Dad Daryl couldn’t be more proud of her achievement. “So proud of Evan and all the hard work, sacrifice and dedication she poured into this achievement,” Johnston shared on his Twitter ‘X’ in 2019. “A second generation Syracuse Player in the Johnston family.”
