LSU Tigers guard Flau’jae Johnson represented her country in the offseason, and her boyfriend, Chris Hilton Jr., is all in. Currently, Johnson is competing in the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup for Team USA, which runs from June 28 to July 8 at the Center of Collective Sports in Santiago, Chile.
Johnson and company have made it to the final, to be played on Sunday, Jul 6. They will take on the Brazilian national team. Chris, an LSU Tigers wide receiver, shared the pre-game teaser, posted by ‘FIBA Women’s AmeriCup’ on Instagram, on his story, which shows Johnson in the graphic. Chris included a three-word comment to show support for the team as they prepare for the championship game.
“Rock out 4,” Hilton Jr. captioned with two heart emojis.
Hilton Jr. is currently gearing up for a comeback to college football after he redshirted his junior year due to a right ankle injury. He has spent all four of his stints with the LSU Tigers as a wide receiver, and will likely play out his final year of eligibility in the 2025-26 season. During his tenure, he met Johnson at LSU, and the two have been public about their relationship.
For Johnson’s case, she is looking to use the experience she is getting from the AmeriCup in preparation for her possible final year of collegiate hoops. Johnson is coming off a 2024-25 season in which the Tigers were eliminated in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament by the UCLA Bruins, 72-65.
