Just weeks ago, Max Johnson was a hero for LSU in its upset win over No. 15 Texas A&M. The quarterback found Jaray Jenkins on a 28-yard touchdown pass to put the Tigers up 27–24, setting up a big upset win. Johnson outdueled Zach Calzada, completing 22 of 38 passes for 306 yards and three touchdowns.
Johnson beat the Aggies, and now he's joining them. The sophomore quarterback opted to transfer after LSU's hire of Brian Kelly. On Friday, he opted to stay in the SEC West, committing to Texas A&M.
“LSU, Thank you for allowing me to pursue my academic and athletic career here,” Johnson said in a previous tweet on his decision to leave Baton Rouge.
