  Draft Scout by Conference









  The day after Myles Brennan suffered a left arm injury that required surgery, coach Ed Orgeron confirmed the suspected: LSU will start sophomore Max Johnson at quarterback, ending the competition that would have taken place between Brennan and Johnson throughout preseason camp. Orgeron had anticipated LSU would determine its starter the week before its season opener Sept. 4 against UCLA, but Brennan broke a bone in his left arm Monday morning, according to a source. Orgeron said during his weekly appearance on WNXX-FM, 104.5 that Brennan underwent surgery Tuesday.

"Surgery went really well," Brennan later wrote on social media. "Thank y'all for all the prayers. God's got me." The injury left LSU with two scholarship quarterbacks - Johnson and freshman Garrett Nussmeier - when preseason practice starts Friday. Nussmeier will become LSU's primary backup while freshman walk-on Matt O'Dowd gets elevated to third string, Orgeron said. "Obviously, Max is going to be our starter, but he's got to have a great camp," Orgeron said. "The depth chart is etched in sand. He knows he's got to perform, but I believe in Max, just like I believe in Myles. I think we've got us a great quarterback, a great championship quarterback." As Orgeron spoke further about moving forward with two healthy scholarship quarterbacks, he recalled the 2018 season, using the past as a reason to find confidence in the future. - Baton Rouge Advocate
