Texas A&M QB Max Johnson announced Sunday that he’s entering the transfer portal.

Johnson played in eight games for the Aggies in 2023 and took over as the team’s starter when Connor Weigman suffered a season-ending foot injury. Johnson dealt with injuries of his own over the season and didn’t play in A&M’s last three games of the season.

The LSU transfer and son of former longtime NFL quarterback Brad Johnson finished the season 118-of-190 passing for 1,452 yards and nine touchdowns. He spent two seasons at Texas A&M after playing the first two years of his career with the Tigers.

Shough came to Texas Tech from Oregon and appeared in just 15 games over three seasons because…
