Flau’Jae Johnson recently received a custom ‘Full Court Press’ crown after being featured in the second season of the originals series by ESPN along with Hannah Hidalgo and Kiki Iriafen. The show is produced by NFL legend, Peyton Manning’s company and has gained plenty of traction for its insights into women’s basketball, especially at a collegiate level.
In this NCAA season, Flau’jae Johnson has been playing for the LSU Tigers whom she joined back in 2022. Her performance on the court for the team has been nothing short of impressive. Johnson has managed to pull off a number of brand collaborations and NIL deals, all thanks to the wisdom of her street-smart mom/manager, Kia Brooks. After Johnson received a call from the one and only Peyton Manning, Brooks took to Instagram to share her joy.
“When Peyton Manning takes time out of his day to text and call your kid (client), you gotta definitely be doing something right as a Business Mom/Momager!” Kia Brooks, Flau’jae Johnson’s mother/manager, wrote on Instagram after Peyton Manning spoke to her daughter.
In her first season with the LSU Tigers, Flau’Jae Johnson managed to win the NCAA championship. In the ongoing college basketball season, the 21-year-old star is managing a pretty impressive 18.6-point average per game, with 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in every matchup played.
