Overview
- Colton Nussmeier confirmed late Friday that he verbally committed to the University of Georgia and chose the Bulldogs over UCLA and Arkansas in his announcement on X.
- Recruiting services list Nussmeier as a four-star, left-handed quarterback measured at 6-foot-3½ and 195 pounds and rank him No. 14 among quarterbacks and No. 167 overall in the 247Sports Composite.
- His junior season was cut short by a knee injury after eight games, during which he passed for 1,390 yards with 12 touchdowns, one interception and a 59.9 percent completion rate.
- Nussmeier will join Georgia’s 2027 quarterback room behind starter Gunner Stockton and alongside Ryan Puglisi, Ryan Montgomery, Hezekiah Millender and Bryson Beaver, adding depth and a long-term option.
- He comes from a strong coaching pedigree—his father Doug is a veteran college and NFL coach and his brother Garret was recently drafted—connections that recruiters say could aid his development at Georgia.
