Cross one of the more intriguing names at quarterback off the list for the 2025 NFL Draft. LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier announced in a lengthy video post on social media that he is returning to Baton Rouge for the 2025 college season.
Nussmeier is a redshirt junior who took over as the Tigers’ starter following Jayden Daniels, who is thriving with the Washington Commanders as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-2 Nussmeier started out the season strongly for LSU but faded in draft evaluation eyes as he faced tougher defenses in the SEC.
Still, he was often projected as a top-50 overall pick. Now that will wait for the 2026 NFL Draft. Nussmeier figures to enter the next college season as one of the top potential QBs in that year’s draft class.
