Why Garrett Nussmeier delaying his commitment is good for LSU football

2021 four-star quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, one of LSU football’s top recruiting targets, announced on Saturday that he’s delaying his commitment until a later date.

Nussmeier was expected to commit by April 18. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic, however, forced a change in plans.

The four-star recruit, who is rated in 247Sports’ composite rankings as the No. 7 pro-style quarterback in the nation, told 247Sports that he wants to finish his visits — specifically to Miami, Texas and Texas A&M — before making his final decision.

It sounds like Nussmeier might have some legitimate interest in attending a school other than LSU (where he has a strong connection to Tigers passing game coordinator Scott Linehan), but it still appears that Ed Orgeron and company are the leaders for the dynamic quarterback.
