re: What are your expectations for Bryce Underwood in 2025?

I don’t see Nuss leaving unless he has some crazy year that projects him as a top 2 round pick. I expect Bryce to get some packages in 25 and become the starter in 26.

The last 3 years, LSU, starting QB has had at least 2800 total yards and 28 Total TDs in around 12 games. The last pocket passer Max Johnson, had 2800 yards and 27 TD passes in 12 games. Seeing that our WR turned QB threw 3 TD passes vs K St in a bowl game, Max Johnson would have likely finished with 3100 pass yards and 30 pass TDs with a bunch of freshman WRs and Jenkins.

Daniels averaged 27 passes per game last year. I'll give Nuss 5 more per game at 32. At 9 yards per pass attempt, that's 288 ypg and over 13 games that's 3744 yards. Give him 30 TD passes too. I think that easily puts him in the first 2 rounds with his NFL coach dad, a 4th year player that would likely have over 600 pass attempts in his career. He's 6'2, close to 200lb with a big arm, and will be running some stuff they do in the NFL.

Add to the fact that we lose everybody but the center on the OL, at least 3 WRs and possibly 4, likely TE Taylor if he has a nice TE year (600 yards 7-8 TDs), and veteran RB Williams.
