Garrett Nussmeier Ranks Among Top 10 Power Five Quarterbacks for 2024
In a recent ranking by Clint Brewster of 247Sports, Garrett Nussmeier has earned a notable spot as the No. 10 Power Five starting quarterback for the 2024 season. This recognition highlights Nussmeier’s potential as he steps into the spotlight as LSU’s new starting quarterback.
Nussmeier’s rise comes after a period of patiently waiting behind Jayden Daniels and Max Johnson. His chance to shine arrived in the bowl game last year against Wisconsin, where he made a strong impression. Completing 31 of 45 passes for three touchdowns and one interception, Nussmeier led LSU to a 35-31 victory, capping off their second consecutive 10-win season under head coach Brian Kelly.
The Top 10 list is dominated by SEC quarterbacks, with Nussmeier joining notable names such as Quinn Ewers, Carson Beck, Jaxson Dart, Connor Weigman, and Jalen Milroe. This reflects the SEC’s continued dominance in college football’s quarterback landscape and sets high expectations for Nussmeier’s upcoming season.
