Final Report

Nussmeier was a 2 year starter at LSU where he admirably battled injuries in 2025 as the program itself collapsed around him leading to the in season firing of Brian Kelly. Nussmeier’s dad is a NFL OC and he plays the position just like a coaches kid should. There’s no wasted motion with him, he always has his feet set and delivers the ball accurately to all 3 levels of the field. While not a true dual threat he can move well in the pocket to avoid pressure and find a receiver when protections break down. Nussmeier battled a torn core muscle in 2025 which severely limited him as a passer. He also has battled knee and shoulder injuries throughout his college career. Give his smaller body it’s fair to have durability concerns for the next level. He has a good arm but he can sometimes trust it too much and it can lead to turnovers that make you want to pull your hair out. Nussmeier looked like a fringe 1st round pick coming into the 2025 season and injuries and coaching instability didn’t give us a ton of new information to go on. The Durability concerns are real but if he can stay healthy he has bridge QB high end back upside.
