Max Johnson, a 4-star quarterback out of Oconee County High School in Watkinsville, Georgia, officially announced his commitment to LSU on Wednesday:
As noted by Joel Anderson of ESPN, Johnson is the son of former NFL quarterback Brad Johnson and the nephew of University of Miami head coach Mark Richt, who offered Max a scholarship.
Richt faced tough odds to land Johnson, however, as 247Sports listed 16 schools that made offers for the left-handed pro-style quarterback.
Johnson is a 6'3 ½", 214-pound signal-caller who is a member of the class of 2020.
