LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier has proved that loyalty has become a rare commodity when it comes to college football in the era of the transfer portal and NIL. Three seasons behind the scenes, waiting, learning, resisting the ever-tempting transfer portal, he was all-in with LSU.
With 31 games under his belt, over 5,700 career passing yards, and a well-earned spot as QB1, Nussmeier is finally reaping the rewards. His commitment comes through not just on the field. His recent graduation from LSU tells the same story—all heart, all Tiger.
Garrett Nussmeier’s Graduation Photos Spark LSU Title Hype
It was caps off, cameras flashing, and purple robes everywhere as Garrett Nussmeier received his diploma — his graduation turned into a full-blown Tiger Nation celebration.
As the quarterback proudly posed with his degree in interdisciplinary studies, fans flooded the internet with messages. Meanwhile, it was not just congratulations that were coming his way.

One fan, summarizing the Tiger Nation’s emotions, wrote, “Now it’s time to go and win the Natty!”
With Nussmeier finally at the helm, it does not seem like a distant dream anymore. After shadowing Heisman winner Jayden Daniels and learning the ropes, this season is his moment.
Another fan, continuing the hype, wrote, “Graduate Heisman and Graduate National champion otwww.”
Nussmeier’s trajectory has been steep; he has been a promising player from his redshirt freshman days. With academics checked off and no distractions left, it’s all football now. However, not all the comments were about the possible Natty.
One fan went on to write, “Now time to get that RING 💛.”
The commenter in question might have been alluding to Nussmeier’s relationship with his girlfriend, Ella Springfield, who graduated last fall.
She flew back to Baton Rouge just to cheer her man on. The couple’s long-distance setup hasn’t dimmed their bond, and with the QB entering his final college season, fans are playfully rooting for two rings: one from the College Football Playoff and maybe another kind.

“People hate BK, but one thing about Coach — he’s implemented an educational mindset and prioritizing academics that has increased graduation rates on his watch,” wrote the fan.
At the end of it all, the voices at LSU saying, as a fan rightly put it, “Let’s go, Garrett—Tiger Nation has your back, time to lock in on that Natty!! 💜”
The fandom is rallying hard, and why wouldn’t they? The arm talent is there. The leadership is there. And now, it’s just a matter of time. As far as Baton Rouge is concerned, the top mission is bringing home a national championship.
