Ex-LSU football QB named starter in seventh year of college football
Former LSU football QB Max Johnson is ready for his seventh year of college football. He'll get one last chance to be the starter.
Former LSU quarterback Max Johnson has been named the starter for the Georgia Southern Eagles, marking his seventh year in college football. Johnson's journey has been quite the whirlwind, transitioning from LSU to Texas A&M and North Carolina amid multiple coaching changes. His performance at LSU in 2020 was promising, earning a 78.5 PFF offensive grade.
He continued to contribute with 27 touchdowns and six interceptions in 2021. However, after transitioning to Texas A&M and North Carolina, Johnson only managed to start a few games at Texas A&M before an injury-shortened 2024 season, where he served primarily as a backup. With only one last opportunity to establish himself as a starter, Johnson faces high expectations at Georgia Southern, where the team has showcased strong offensive numbers under coach Clay Helton.
