LSU basketball star Flau’Jae Johnson to perform at ESPYs

LSU star Flau’Jae Johnson will take the stage at the ESPYs on Thursday night.

LSU basketball star [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag] has made a name for herself on and off the court. She’s played a pivotal role in LSU’s tournament success the last two years, while also building a career as a musician.

Johnson’s rap career has become more than just a side hustle and she’ll take another step on Thursday night, performing live at ESPN’s ESPY Awards.

Flau’Jae took to social media to announce the news on Wednesday. The performance comes on the heel of Johnson’s recent album release titled “Best of Both Worlds.”

The record was nine tracks and featured a collaboration with Lil Wayne with Johnson adding to her list of impressive collaborators that already included NLE Choppa.

With [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] gone, Johnson is ready to step into the spotlight for LSU. Her talents away from the court will continue to provide LSU women’s basketball with social media exposure.

A hoist of stars left college basketball this year. That leaves room for Johnson to take the next step.

On the court, Johnson averaged 14.9 points per game last year. That was up from the 11 she averaged as a freshman.

LSU will count on her next year as the Tigers look to make a return to the Final Four under [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag].
