LSU entered the offseason with a quarterback battle between Myles Brennan and Max Johnson.
However, since Brennan recently suffered an arm injury that required surgery, the job is Johnson’s heading into the 2021 campaign.
After a practice session on Saturday, Johnson spoke with the media. He shared his thoughts on Brennan’s injury, saying he feels bad for his teammate and was looking forward to competing with him:
