Colton Nussmeier, a four‑star quarterback prospect, announced his commitment to the University of Georgia on Tuesday, choosing the Bulldogs over a handful of elite programs.
A Family Legacy in the SEC
Nussmeier follows a football lineage; his older brother Garrett once started for LSU, while their father, Doug Nussmeier, currently serves as offensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints.
Elite 11 Spotlight
A regular at the Elite 11 finals, he is regarded as one of the best rising seniors, ranking No. 142 nationally and No. 10 among quarterbacks in the 2027 class.
The Competition Ahead
With incumbent starter Gunner Stockton projected to enter the 2027 NFL draft, the Bulldogs’ quarterback room is poised for a shake‑up, and Nussmeier will be among several candidates vying for the first‑string role.
Quarterbacks such as Ryan Puglisi and Ryan Montgomery bring experience, while redshirt freshman Hezekiah Millender and four‑star recruit Bryson Beaver also loom as potential threats.
After signing, Nussmeier posted on social media, “All glory to God! Go Dawgs!” signaling his excitement and the cultural fit he seeks at Georgia.
