LSU football recently received a commitment from 2021 four-star quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.
When Garrett Nussmeier announced his commitment to LSU football last week, it wasn’t a big surprise.
Nussmeier, the nation’s No. 7 rated pro-style quarterback (247Sports composite), was born in Louisiana. He has family in the area still. And his dad played for and coached with LSU passing game coordinator Scott Linehan.
LSU and Nussmeier were destined to end up together.
The fact that Nussmeier has some close connections to LSU, however, isn’t the reason the Tigers took his commitment (they were strongly pursuing him before Linehan was hired).
