A comment praises Johnson for her work with the Kay Yow Fund

Apart from being a player on one of the top women's basketball teams in the country, Johnson has attracted attention for her music career and her NIL deals, valued at $1.5 million, per On3.

The Tigers guard released her first R&B album on Friday and averages 111.2K monthly listeners on Spotify. Her brand deals include Unrivaled, JBL and The Athlete's Foot. Johnson has 1.6 million followers on TikTok and two million on Instagram, where she shared the news about her Kay Yow Fund campaign.

Flau'jae Johnson's junior season at LSU

In her junior year, Johnson is averaging a career-high 19.5 points per game, tied for 29th in the NCAA. Her 81.4% free throw percentage is also a career-high, but the guard has seen dips in her field goal percentage and 3-point percentage this season.

Johnson has put up 20+ points in five of her last 10 games but hasn't come close to her average points per game in LSU's last two matchups.

In a loss to then No. 19 Tennessee, now No. 15, the junior recorded just 12 points. In Sunday's loss to the No. 2 Longhorns, Johnson scored 16 points. Before these two ranked contests, the guard had back-to-back-to-back 20-plus point games.

The Tigers' loss to Texas was only the team's second loss of the season, and LSU remains undefeated at home.

Johnson's squad has four SEC games left to finish off the regular season, with three of them being ranked matchups. Hopefully, Johnson can settle into a rhythm and aid the Tigers as they look ahead to March Madness.
