While LSU Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier recovers from his abdominal injury, his fiancée, Ella Springfield, is playing dress up with her dog. The dog named Ace is a cherished member of the family, and is often part of couple’s social media activity.
On Friday, ahead of LSU’s game against Western Kentucky, Ella captured her furry pet in a tiger-stripe hoodie, while writing in the caption:
