Former LSU Tigers starting QB Max Johnson transferring to Texas A&M Aggies

Former LSU starting quarterback Max Johnson announced on Friday that he plans to transfer to Texas A&M.

Johnson's younger brother, top tight-end prospect Jake Johnson in the 2022 class, signed with the Aggies earlier this week.

The son of former NFL quarterback Brad Johnson, Max emerged as LSU's starter as a freshman late in the 2020 season, leading the Tigers to wins on the road at Florida and at home against Ole Miss.

As a sophomore, Max threw 27 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Former LSU coach Ed Orgeron, who recruited Max, parted ways with the program following the end of the regular season.
