Multiple sources have reported that LSU running back Ju’Juan Johnson will be entering the transfer portal.

Johnson, a former four-star athlete from Lafayette, La. (Lafayette Christian Academy), was the most productive high school quarterback in Louisiana prep history with a record 14,451 total yards and 171 total touchdowns.

He came to LSU as a defensive back but switched to running back during his freshman season last year, rushing for just 14 yards on seven carries. He also had five receptions for 22 yards and one touchdown.

Johnson played behind sophomore Caden Durham and true freshman Harlem Berry this past season and rushed 151 yards on 38 carries and two touchdowns.

Johnson appeared in every game over the last two seasons and will have two years of eligibility at his next school.

This one sucks. This guy is great.

He wants to be a QB and it won’t happen here. Best of luck young man

It won't happen anywhere. Reminds me of Russell Shepard. Great high school quarterback and talent. But he will need to find another position to continue his career professionally.

Seemed like he did everything anyone asked of him. He needs to think about himself and get developed at one position, not bounce around

LSU Fd up with this talent. Multi-talented and should have had the chance at QB. Do not blame him one-bit, good luck JJ, you will be missed.

He wanted to play and develop. In the NIL world you can’t just let them sit.

No point in being on a team where you are not going to get carries. Best of luck in the future and thanks for being a Tiger!

I like the guy a lot. Got lots of touches and never really made big plays.

I get Russell Shepard tweener vibes from this guy. Wish him the best, though. Shepard had a productive pro career.
