LSU football coach Brian Kelly had a hunch that redshirt junior quarterback Garrett Nussmeier would return for his fifth season in Baton Rouge. Kelly explained on Friday that because Nussmeier had waited for his turn to start and was a "proponent of LSU and wanting to be here," he always had a feeling that he would return to the Tigers in 2025.

Garrett Nussmeier's LSU comeback is vital with defensive struggles and a tough schedule. His development echoes former LSU QB and could have a breaout season.

Following a breakout season at LSU, Garrett Nussmeier made a decision to don the purple and gold once again. The quarterback will return for his senior season, according to a post from his Instagram on Wednesday.
