Georgia Quarterback Commit Colton Nussmeier Transfers to Archbishop Rummel
He will finish his senior season in Louisiana after the UIL upheld a ruling that made him ineligible to play in Texas.
Overview
- Reports confirmed Friday that four-star QB Colton Nussmeier is leaving Denton Ryan and enrolling at Archbishop Rummel in Metairie, Louisiana for his senior year.
- Texas officials ruled Nussmeier ineligible after his offseason move to Denton Ryan and the University Interscholastic League upheld that decision on appeal, blocking him from playing in Texas.
- Nussmeier remains a nationally ranked four-star prospect who has committed to play at Georgia and will carry that college commitment into his senior season.
- His move places him nearer family ties in Louisiana, where his father Doug is a New Orleans Saints coach and his brother Garrett played at LSU, and Doug has said the family relocation was not made for athletic reasons.
- Archbishop Rummel gains a high-profile starting quarterback for a deep Louisiana Catholic League and the transfer changes the talent picture by removing Nussmeier from Texas competition and boosting Rummel’s state-title prospects.
