Flau’jae Johnson Shines On and Off the Court as She Returns to LSU for Senior Season
Flau’jae Johnson has been in the spotlight for years—first as a high school star in Savannah, Georgia, and now as a standout player and personality at LSU. After making waves in the McDonald’s All-American Game and the Jordan Brand Classic, Johnson joined the Tigers and helped lead them to a national championship in 2023.
This past season, she earned All-SEC First Team honors and closed the year with a career-high average of 18.6 points per game. In LSU’s Elite Eight loss to UCLA, Johnson poured in 28 points on 10-of-17 shooting, capping off another stellar campaign.
But Johnson is far more than a basketball player. She’s one of the top NIL earners in college sports, with deals from brands like Puma, Meta, JBL, and Taco Bell. She even holds equity in the women’s 3×3 league Unrivaled. On top of all that, she’s an accomplished rapper.
On Monday, Johnson took her influence to the fashion world, appearing at the 2025 Met Gala and announcing a new partnership with CoverGirl. Though details of the deal are still under wraps, it adds to her growing brand—and was a key reason she opted to delay entering the WNBA Draft and return to LSU.

Now gearing up for her senior season, Johnson will rejoin head coach Kim Mulkey and a stacked LSU roster that includes major transfers MiLaysia Fulwiley (South Carolina), Kate Koval (Notre Dame), and Amiya Joyner (East Carolina), all aiming for another championship run.
