After a stellar 2024 season, Garrett Nussmeier could have gone to the NFL. He had been in Baton Rouge for four seasons, and after becoming the full-time starter last year, totaled 4,052 yards and 29 touchdowns through the air. He also led the SEC in completions with 337. That kind of production was very appealing to NFL scouts.
Instead, Nussmeier chose to return to Baton Rouge. It was a vital get for Brian Kelly, who enters a pivotal year at the helm of the Tiger program. Nussmeier is set to lead a talented LSU offense that has the potential to win a national title.
