Flau'Jae Johnson will return to college and pass up the WNBA Draft, according to report from The Athletic on Wednesday.

League rules permit prospects to declare for the draft after either four years of college basketball or when they turn 22. Johnson will turn 22 later this year but did not declare at Tuesday's deadline.

In the 2024-25 season, Johnson led the Tigers with a career-high 18.6 points per game along with 5.6 rebound and 2.5 assist averages.

Following the season-ending loss to UCLA in the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, Johnson hinted at a return to Baton Rouge fueled by dissatisfaction.
