QB Max Johnson, Georgia Southern
First season of college football: 2020

Johnson, who led this team last season as well, is now on his fourth school in seven years after spending two seasons each at LSU, Texas A&M and North Carolina. Injuries have repeatedly derailed the one-time SEC starter (his best season came in 2021 at LSU), who has played in just 17 games over the past four seasons. By year’s end, though, he’ll be able to say he was coached by all of the following: Ed Orgeron, Jimbo Fisher, Mack Brown, Bill Belichick and Clay Helton.

Thank goodness for 5 for 5. 7 years is just ridiculous. The dude could be well on his way to being a doctor with all that school.

He’s dead to me after leaving us with no QB in the bowl game so he could transfer to sit the bench at aTm.

I’m thinking he has a career in coaching ahead. Get that masters degree now.

How does someone even get 7 years of eligibility?

Throw out Covid year and it's still 6 yrs. How?

By far this kid’s (lol) greatest tool as a QB is being able to take an absolute beating and get back up. He does very little well as a QB but he is tough as an ox

I will always have a soft spot in my heart as a Florida resident for him winning on the road at the Swamp in the shoe toss game.
