Kentucky Hosts 2027 4-Star QB Colton Nussmeier for Visit

Kentucky had one of its top quarterback targets on campus this weekend. 2027 four-star quarterback Colton Nussmeier tells KSR that he visited Kentucky this weekend for a spring visit.

The 6-foot-3.5, 200-pound quarterback from Marcus (Flower Mound, TX) is the younger brother of Garrett Nussmeier, who played under current Kentucky offensive coordinator Joe Sloan at LSU. He spoke with KSR+ about his relationship with Sloan after his offer in January.

“We had a good relationship when he was at LSU, and when he moved, nothing really changed,” Nussmeier said. “We can have fluent conversations about anything, and I’ve known him for a while now.”
