Max Johnson now has his new team according to On3 Sports. He will join his younger brother Jake, who signed with the Texas A&M Aggies. There was some thought that they might head to Florida State but once Jake signed with the Aggies, it was only a matter of time before the elder Johnson would join him.
Max signed with the LSU Tigers in the 2020 class as the No. 10 quarterback of the class and No. 26 recruit from Georgia. Johnson played in 18 games for LSU, started all 12 games in 2021. He completed 60.3% of his passes this season for 2,814 yards with 27 touchdowns and six interceptions. He now joins the team he helped defeat on Nov. 27 in Death Valley.

Johnson joins a quarterback group in College Station that has Haynes King and incoming freshman Conner Weigman. Johnson is the most experienced of the three and it could be quite the battle to see who rises to the top for the Aggies.
We could see the battle in the 2022 season finale we never got in Baton Rouge, Max Johnson vs Myles Brennan.
