UNC Football Emerges as Potential Destination for SEC Quarterback Max Johnson
Texas A&M quarterback Max Johnson has entered the transfer portal, and UNC football is making waves as a potential landing spot for the talented signal-caller. Johnson, the son of former Florida State quarterback Brad Johnson, has played two seasons at LSU before transferring to College Station.
As the transfer news unfolds, UNC football appears to be a frontrunner for Johnson’s services. A 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction from national insider Matt Zenitz on Tuesday morning strengthens the speculation, marking UNC as the likely destination.
The Tar Heels, led by Head Coach Mack Brown, are facing the potential departure of standout quarterback Drake Maye to the NFL Draft. Johnson’s entry into the transfer portal could set the stage for a competitive quarterback battle in Chapel Hill for the upcoming season.
Max Johnson, a graduate transfer, will be immediately eligible at his next destination. This season, he took on the role of the full-time starting quarterback for Texas A&M after an early-season injury to Conner Weigman. Johnson showcased his skills by completing 62.7 percent of his passes, accumulating 1,452 yards, and throwing nine touchdowns (with five interceptions) in eight games as the starter. A rib injury sidelined him in early November, leading to a 5-3 record as the starting quarterback.
Before his time with the Aggies, Johnson had a noteworthy stint at LSU, amassing over 3,800 passing yards across 18 games.
The anticipation is building around Max Johnson’s decision, and UNC football is emerging as a strong contender to secure the talents of this seasoned quarterback. Stay tuned for further updates on Johnson’s transfer destination.
