Max Johnson News: Headed to Georgia Southern

Johnson will transfer to Georgia Southern, per Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com.

Johnson played sparingly in 2025 for the Tar Heels, tossing for 437 yards and two touchdowns on 62.1 percent completion. He'll take his final year of eligibility to Georgia Southern, where he'll look to earn a starting role for the first time since his 2024 campaign that was cut tragically short by a brutal injury.
