LSU QB Max Johnson Enters Transfer Portal Amid Coaching Turnover

As LSU enters a fresh start with new coach Brian Kelly, turnover within the roster and coaching staff is an inevitable part of the process. On Tuesday, the Tigers learned that a key player from the 2020 campaign would be among those on the way out of the program.

Quarterback Max Johnson announced via Twitter that he is entering the transfer portal. At the same time, Johnson's younger brother, Jake—the top tight end recruit in the class of 2022—announced his de-commitment from LSU.

While both losses will surely sting, Max's absence is the more immediate one.
