high-volume LSU passer with NFL-caliber arm talent and some decision-making polish needed
In the 2025 season, Garrett Nussmeier completed 194 of 288 passes for 1,927 yards, 12 touchdowns and 5 interceptions at LSU, showing steady command, quick processing and the ability to create chunk throws when protection holds up[8]. He’s a rhythm passer with real arm talent, but the tape and stat line both say the same thing: he’s at his best attacking intermediate windows, and his next step is reducing mistakes under pressure. If you want a confident distributor who can run a pro-style passing game, he’s a fit; if you need a true off-script magician, this isn’t that guy[1][15].
