Garrett Nussmeier Puts Injury Behind Him With Strong LSU Pro Day Showing

The performance signaled a return to form following a year hampered by an abdomen injury.

Overview

  • Garrett Nussmeier, who threw at LSU’s Pro Day on Monday, completed 69 of 72 passes in a scripted workout that he said reflected full health.
  • He said an abdomen injury on day two of fall camp caused stabbing pain and limited his core rotation, which he links to his reduced arm strength in 2025.
  • Across nine 2025 games he threw for 1,927 yards with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions, then lost the job late in the season and did not play again after Michael Van Buren took over.
  • Bleacher Report ranked him No. 51 overall and third among quarterbacks, while WDSU reported projections in the late second to third round.
  • Next up are team visits before the 2026 NFL Draft, a stretch that will let clubs weigh his clean Pro Day against last season’s tape and medical history.
