LSU football landed a big fish this week by securing a commitment from four-star quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.

Nussmeier, 6-foot-2/185 lbs from Flower Mound, TX, is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 15 player in the state of Texas and the No. 7 pro-style quarterback in the nation.

It wasn’t a surprise to see Nussmeier commit to the Tigers. He’s long been considered a strong LSU lean. And that only intensified when Ed Orgeron hired Scott Linehan (he coached with Nussmeier’s dad, Doug Nussmeier, when both were on the Dallas Cowboys’ staff) to replace Joe Brady as the Tigers’ passing game coordinator.
