LSU quarterback commit Garrett Nussmeier has another big night

Four-star quarterback Garrett Nussmeier committed to the LSU Tigers back in May.

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.

LSU QB commit Garrett Nussmeier helped set up big recruiting weekend

Nussmeier wanted those who haven’t been to LSU’s campus to get a feel for Baton Rouge.

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.

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.

Now, Nussmeier can add another honor to his list.

Nussmeier was selected to play in the Under Armour All-American Game, which is scheduled to take place in January, but the COVID-19 pandemic has made all sporting events uncertain in the near future.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Nussmeier is from Marcus High School in Flower Mound, Texas.

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.
