LSU QB commit Garrett Nussmeier selected to Under Armour All-American game

Now, Nussmeier can add another honor to his list.

It’s been a hectic few months for LSU commit Garrett Nussmeier.

The 2021 quarterback committed to LSU on May 4, kicking off a strong few months for the Tigers on the recruiting trail.

In early July, Nussmeier was named a finalist for the Elite 11 quarterback competition and drew rave reviews. Former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer, who is the head coach of the Elite 11, was certainly impressed with Nussmeier.

He’s had to earn a starting quarterback job seven times from his dad (Coach Doug Nussmeier taking jobs) moving so much from little league to high school and you can see that with how he carries himself. He’s a kid that’s free-flowing, charismatic and everyone loves him and he can play. This kid generates a lot of power for not being a huge kid. You see a lot of coaches kids that are really robotic. He’s not robotic. I played with his dad in the pros and he’s a better version of his dad. He’s a twitchier, a little more powerful version of his pops.

2021 quarterback target postpones commitment date

Garrett Nussmeier has postponed his commitment date. Due to the coronavirus, Nussmeier was not able to complete visits to three schools.

Garrett Nussmeier of Flower Mound Marcus High School has postponed his commitment date from the originally planned date of April 18. Due to the coronavirus, Nussmeier was not able to complete visits to three schools in his final five.

The four-star quarterback told 247Sports, “I wanted to finish my visits to get to see Miami, Texas and Texas A&M.”

On Texas and new offensive coordinator Mike Yurich, Nussmeier said, “we’ve had a relationship for a long time. He was recruiting me hard at Oklahoma State before he left. I kind of knew when he got the Texas it would pick up. That’s a huge plus and Texas is a huge university and the chance to play for them is pretty cool.”

The Texas product is the seventh-ranked pro-style QB in the country according to 247Sports’ composite. The site’s crystal ball predicts he will pick LSU, where he already has taken a visit.

Nussmeier has not released a new date for his commitment and based on what he has said, will not commit until he is able to visit the three remaining schools. Once the COVID-19 pandemic has slowed, one of the most sought after prospects in the state will make his decision.
