UNC football’s Max Johnson makes huge 2025 decision after brutal injury
When UNC football quarterback Max Johnson got carted off the field in last Saturday’s opener against Minnesota, it looked like his career might have been finished. However, the graduate student isn’t done yet.
Johnson updated the media about his plans, via ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
“NEWS: UNC quarterback Max Johnson tells ESPN that he’ll return to UNC and play the 2025 season. The UNC grad student QB suffered a broken right leg in the opener against Minnesota. ‘I have a lot of football left in me, and know I will be back out there next year,'” he said.
The 23-year-old completed 12-of-19 passes for 71 yard and an interception, as well six carries for 10 rushing yards and a score before his right leg got broken on a hit in the third quarter, sending him to the hospital.
Johnson later expanded on his statement, via Thamel.
“These last eight days have been a serious grind and it has taken a lot to get to other side and start the recovery process. I want to thank Dr Templeman and his team, the nurses and support staff at Hennepin County Medical Center who took amazing care of me. Thank you to UNC Head Coach Mack Brown, the coaching staff, and trainers who have encouraged and supported me. Thank you to family and friends who have prayed and supported me during this time and ultimately my Lord and Savior that pulled me though. It will be hard to sit on the sidelines, but I have a lot of football left in me and know I will be back out there next year. In the meantime, I’ll be there every day supporting my teammates and helping out as much as I can. I appreciate all the love and support from the fans – #GoHeels.”
