LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier entered the 2025 season as one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy. The veteran QB ranked fifth in the country last season with 4,052 passing yards to go along with 29 touchdowns. He also led the SEC with 337 completions. However, Nussmeier's final collegiate season hasn't gone as planned, as an abdominal injury has hindered his ability and left him sidelined for LSU's last two games.
The 2025 Heisman race has been wide open for most of the season. Entering Week 13, there is still no overwhelming favorite to win the prestigious award.
