LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier to Return for Senior Season

Nussmeier opts out of 2025 NFL Draft to lead the Tigers in pursuit of a championship after an 8-4 season.

Garrett Nussmeier announced his decision to return to LSU for his final year of eligibility, aiming to bring the Tigers a championship in 2025.
The junior quarterback threw for 3,739 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in his first season as a starter, leading LSU to an 8-4 record.
Nussmeier's return solidifies LSU's quarterback position after the team lost top recruit Bryce Underwood to Michigan.
Projected as a potential first- or second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Nussmeier chose to stay at LSU to further develop his skills and improve his draft stock.
LSU will conclude the 2024 season against Baylor in the Texas Bowl on December 31, with Nussmeier under center.
