LSU star Flau’jae Johnson is one of the biggest stars in women’s college basketball. She is getting ready for her senior season with the Tigers before starting her WNBA career. On Wednesday, a clip of her was posted on the Overtime WBB Instagram account. In the clip, Johnson shared some words of wisdom about the importance of internal motivation.
“If somebody gotta get up and make you go get it, you don’t want it,” Johnson said.

This is a sentiment that is often iterated by pro athletes. As a result, it got a big reaction on social media. Notably, Dallas Cowboys star quarterback Dak Prescott, who is worth $90 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth, reposted the clip on his Instagram story on Thursday with a two-word reaction.
“Flau’Jae wisdom,” Prescott wrote.
Dak Prescott certainly knows what it means to work hard. He has been the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys since 2016. In that time, he has become a star in the league and one of its most consistent quarterbacks. Prescott became a star in the NFL despite not being a high pick. He was a fourth-round pick by the Cowboys in the 2016 NFL draft.
Flau’jae Johnson Is Preparing for Her Final College Season
Based on the Instagram video, it appears that Flau’jae Johnson is working hard in preparation for her final college season. She has spent her entire career with the LSU Tigers, and that will continue in her senior season. This past year, Johnson took a big jump forward, establishing herself as a superstar in women’s college basketball. She averaged 18.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
Despite her impressive statline, Johnson still narrowly trailed Aneesah Morrow in scoring, who averaged 18.7 points and 13.5 rebounds per game. However, Morrow will not be around for the Tigers next season. She started her WNBA career after being selected by the Connecticut Sun with the seventh pick in the first round of the 2025 WNBA draft.
As a result, Johnson will need to pick up more of the offensive workload next season. It appears that she is up to the task.
Heading into the 2025-26 season, Johnson is viewed as one of the contenders to be the first pick in the 2026 WNBA. According to an early ranking released by ESPN in late April, Johnson is the fifth most likely player to be selected first next season. UCLA’s Lauren Betts is the early favorite.
