Flau'jae Johnson has established herself as one of the finest players for Kim Mulkey's LSU in recent years. She won the national title with the Tigers in 2023 and is making a name for herself on the rap circuit.
On Wednesday, she confirmed she was returning to LSU for her fourth collegiate season. Mulkey discussed Johnson's return to the Tigers in an interview with WAFB, also touching on her talents off the court.
"Well, let's start with Flau'jae," Mulkey said (38:55). "Very rarely are you gonna see kids stay four years at a college anymore ... When we recruited Flau'jae, we were new here.
"What do we sell this young lady, who's a McDonald's All-American, to get her to come and help us jumpstart this program? We sold her, 'Hey, you can do your rap and also play basketball.' A lot of people didn't offer that to her."
Mulkey also said that LSU offered Flau'jae the opportunity to play in the Southeastern Conference.
"So Flau'jae has worked really hard at both her basketball and her rap music. And dang, she's good at both. But the number of hours that she spends on both, I don't even know how you have that many hours in a day."
Flau'jae Johnson confirmed that the 2025-26 season at LSU will be her final year with the program. Across three seasons with the team, she has averaged 14.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
She won the SEC Freshman of the Year, was named to the second-team All-SEC in 2024 and earned a first-team All-SEC selection in 2025.
