In the video itself, the LSU senior expressed her pride in being able to raise the flag for the event.

“Hey, look y’all. Waving the flag. Honorary starters,” she said in the video. “Can’t drop the flag. I’m not going to drop the flag.”

Flau’jae Johnson had an incredible 2024-25 season with the LSU Tigers, proving to the world she is one of the best two-way players in the country. She started every game (34) and averaged 18.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists, while shooting 46.8% overall and 38.3% from three.

While she had the offensive part of her game from the previous year, she now also added the defensive part of her game with 1.7 steals and almost a block per game. With her as a star player, the LSU was able to make a deep playoff run, despite ultimately failing to clinch the championship.
