Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier announced Wednesday that he will return to LSU for his senior season.”I am officially announcing that I am returning for my final year of eligibility, and I am fully committed to bringing this university a championship,” Nussmeier said in a video posted to X. “My teammates, coaches, and the fans will get the absolute best out of me every single day until we complete that goal.”It is a big boost for the Tigers, as Nussmeier was projected to be a first- or second-round pick had he decided to enter the 2025 NFL Draft. There was also potential for Nussmeier to transfer elsewhere for his final season of eligibility.Instead, he will return to an LSU program that lost out on the No. 1 recruit in next year’s class when Bryce Underwood flipped to Michigan.
