When it comes to loyalty, the LSU Tigers quarterback Garrett Nussmeier has proved himself on and off the field. In a world where players fall like dominoes, getting lured by NIL offers, Nussmeier closed his doors. Instead of trying his luck somewhere else, he thought of making a U-turn to Brian Kelly’s squad. However, his stay in Baton Rouge came with a bitter result. He had to be in a long-distance relationship with his sweetheart, Ella Springfield. Turns out that the couple believes that if love is there, nothing can split them apart, not even the miles and distance. So, instead of worrying about the hardships, Nussmeier and Springfiled shared a cute moment, and no wonder, the college football fans are going gaga over the ‘couple goals.’

Given the current situation, Nussmeier and Springfield have limited time when it comes to spending time together. The Tigers’ quarterback’s ladylove graduated in December with a degree in marketing and a concentration in sales from LSU. Springfield now pursues her higher aspirations and has to move out of Baton Rouge. The initial plan was that Nussmeier would also join her since he, too, graduated this season. However, Nussmeier changed his plan last minute as the quarterback decided to be in Louisiana for one more year. Was Springfield upset with it? Not at all. Instead, she has been his rock of support. Back in November, she wrote, “So grateful to experience this journey with you. I am so proud of you…Forever your biggest fan.”

Fans now often wait for the lovebirds to make an appearance together. Turns out that the universe listened to their wish. On May 14, Springfield posted a series of pictures with her beau, Nussmeier, on Instagram. The duo is decked up in the purple LSU robe, looking loving at each other. The journey they have made together must have made Springfield super emotional. After all, she has found Nussmeier by her side through thick and thin. The caption of the post must have won the fans’ hearts. She wrote, “Time flies 🥺.”

The picture showed the couple locked in each other’s arms, posing all smiles in front of an empty LSU stadium. And guess who was third-wheeling in the pictures? Springfield’s furry friend, her dog Ace. The last picture of the thread showed Nussmeier in a red robe holding a degree in his hand. It read, “Edward S. Marcus High School, Diploma og Graduation.” From high school to college, one thing remained the same— Nussmeier and Springfield’s love for each other. Now, what are the fans saying? 

Fans gush over Garrett Nussmeier and Ella Springfield’s heartwarming post

Well, there are a lot of things right now on Nussmeier’s plate. Now that he has returned to LSU, he will have to hold the reins to flip their 2024 9-4 script. In the 2024 season, he wrapped up on a high note, completing 337 out of 525 passes and 4,052 yards and 29 touchdowns. With this, he has picked up the NFL hype. As analyst Rece Davis shared, “I think [the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft] might end up being Nussmeier.”

Now, the Tigers fans can’t wait for what Nussmeier brings to the gridiron in the coming months. One of them commented, “He still waiting for the big summer blow out.” Springfield and Nussmeier have excelled in their own fields. The quarterback bagged the ReliaQuest Bowl MVP award while Springfield graduated with a degree. However, a fan can’t stop obsessing over their four-legged, cute dog, Ace. She wrote, “Mom & dad did it👏👏 so proud!”

At 6-foot-2, 200 pounds, Nussmeier boasts solid size and has a powerful arm, and has picked up the Heisman odds holding a second rank. Amidst all this pressure, the duo has worked on their love. Thus, a fan commented, “My favorite people🥹.”

They say behind every successful man, there is a successful woman. In Nussmeier’s case, it’s true. Being a beauty with brains, Springfield has pushed her beau to be the best version of himself. And now he is likely to be the New Orleans Saints‘ favorite. A fan wrote, “i’m so so happy for the both of yall!!! ella your so so pretty and my man @garrettnussmeier is fire!!!!🔥”

Not just the NFL hype, even in college football, the LSU quarterback is going to hold the top spot in 2025. However, it has not been an easy ride to stay apart from each other. But the patience was worth it. The fight made a fan emotional who commented, “sobbing i love this 🥹.” With his biggest cheerleader by his side, Garrett Nussmeier proves there’s no limit to how far love and drive can take you.
