Nussmeier, the son of NFL coach Doug Nussmeier, has shown outstanding skill and endurance during his time at LSU. After patiently waiting behind Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels, Nussmeier took over the starting job in 2024, racking up over 4,000 passing yards and 29 touchdowns while leading the Tigers to a 9-4 record and a Texas Bowl victory.
The LSU QB’s performance this season justifies the high praise from experts. Notably, in an overtime thriller against Ole Miss, Nussmeier engineered a game-tying drive, converting two fourth-down opportunities before scoring the winning touchdown. Such crucial performances highlight his calmness and ability as a premier quarterback.
Nussmeier decided to return for his redshirt senior season to refine his skills and boost his draft stock. The decision sets him up as a potential first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, as analysts expect a strong quarterback class that includes Arch Manning and Drew Allar.
Looking Ahead to 2025
LSU head coach Brian Kelly has previously praised Nussmeier’s quietness and leadership. He also highlighted Nussmeier’s background as a coach’s son, pointing out the ability to deflect praise.
Nussmeier stands out as a QB who possesses the skills, leadership, and endurance to succeed in professional football.
