Garrett Nussmeier committed to the LSU Tigers back on May 4.
Since that time, Nussmeier has been busy trying to get some of the nation’s top recruits to join him in Baton Rouge.
The four-star passer from Flower Mound High in Flower Mound, Texas, recently helped lead a recruiting event in Baton Rouge that featured LSU recruits — such as himself — and several uncommitted elite prospects like Korey Foreman, Tristan Leigh and Maason Smith, among others.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, NCAA recruiting remains in a dead period and has been since March.

That didn’t stop Nussmeier and others from creating their own recruiting event.
The idea was for commitments to meet uncommitted players and tour the LSU campus and Baton Rouge. Recruits can’t meet with coaches and haven’t been able to since mid-March.
Nussmeier wanted those who haven’t been to LSU’s campus to get a feel for Baton Rouge, he said in an interview with Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports.
“I put together this trip to try and get some guys that haven’t seen the campus and some commits that haven’t seen the campus and give them a chance to see what Baton Rouge has to offer,” Nussmeier said.
LSU currently has the No. 3 recruiting class in 2021 with 18 commitments and could be poised for a strong finish.
