LSU Tigers star Flau'Jae Johnson celebrated her younger brother's first birthday earlier this week. Johnson's mother Kia Brooks posted a video on her Instagram story of the LSU guard, who has a NIL value of $1.5 million per On3, holding Aythan on a platform. A camera revolved around them and music played in the background.

he celebration was a few days after Aythan's birthday, which took place on May 10. On Tuesday, Brooks thanked her family and friends for making Aythan's first birthday special.

​

"Aythan’s 1st birthday celebration was truly unforgettable! We’re so grateful to our amazing family and friends who came out to shower our little one with love. With over 100 guests in attendance, it was a beautiful testament to the village surrounding our child even in the rain."

"Since we didn’t have a traditional baby shower, we combined it with his birthday celebration, and it was wonderful to see everyone come together. Thank you for the generous gifts, heartfelt cards, and thoughtful posts your love and support mean everything to us!"

Flau'Jae Johnson prepares for her final NCAA season at LSU

Flau'Jae Johnson is in the midst of offseason training for her final college season. She will be expected to be the team's No. 1 option next season. She averaged 18.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game this past season.

That is an impressive stat line, but with Aneesah Morrow getting drafted into the WNBA, the LSU Tigers have lost their leading scorer. As a result, the extra responsibility of leading the offense is expected to fall on Johnson's shoulders.

It will be interesting to see how Flau'Jae Johnson handles being the team's top scoring option. Although she kept up with Morrow last season, she will likely get more defensive attention next season.
