Four-star quarterback Garrett Nussmeier committed to the LSU Tigers back in May. Since that time, Nussmeier has competed in the Elite 11 Finals and began the final season of his high school career.
To say Nussmeier is having a strong season would be an understatement.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound signal-caller from Marcus High in Flower Mound, Texas, had another big night in Friday’s win over Plano West High School.
Nussmeier completed 22 of 31 passes for 349 yards and three touchdowns in the win. Marcus High is now 7-0 on the season and looks poised for a run at the state championship.
The son of former NFL quarterback Doug Nussmeier, the current quarterbacks’ coach of the Dallas Cowboys, has passed for over 2,300 yards with 27 touchdowns on the season.
LSU quarterback Myles Brennan should return next season. The Tigers should also bring back TJ Finley and Max Johnson — newcomers this fall.
However, if no player has a stranglehold on the job next fall, Nussmeier could push for playing time at quarterback.
Nussmeier and Marcus High return to action on Nov. 27 as it travels to Lewisville.
