Last year, Myles Brennan started as LSU’s quarterback. But, he suffered an injury against Mizzou and missed most of the rest of the season.
In the last 2 games of the 2020 season, in which the Tigers finished 5-5, freshman Max Johnson started, leading the Tigers to wins in those 2 games.
So, as the Tigers enter spring practices, coach Ed Orgeron said Johnson is getting the first reps at practice, but added that all the QBs are taking equal reps:
On the QB competition, Orgeron says Max Johnson is taking the first reps right now since he won the last two games for #LSU.
But all the QBs are taking equal reps. He calls it an open competition.
"Let the best man win." #LSU

The issue will be what happens when a starter is named. If Johnson or Brennan wins, the other might transfer.
How will Coach O balance that? We’ll find out as the spring season moves along.
