Garrett Nussmeier News, Rumors, Updates - LSU Tigers

Status remains in question Nussmeier (abdomen) remains questionable before Saturday's game against Western Kentucky, Scott Rabalais of The Baton Rouge Advocate reports.

Impact LSU's interim coach Frank Wilson told reporters Monday that while Nussmeier wants to return to action as soon as possible, the possibility of that happening is unknown. Without him available, Michael Van Buren can be given the keys to lead LSU's offense against one of its easier opponents this season. Nussmeier had been decent for a few games pre-injury and will want to re-establish himself as a top option that many viewed him as before his 2025 season.
