With the LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier making his way to the 2025 NFL draft, concerns about his dating life and girlfriend have attracted attention. Nussmeier is in a relationship with Ella Springfield, a native of Texas.

While Garreet has yet to go officially on Instagram about his dating story, his partner’s Instagram spills the beans of their romance. Both of them are attendees of the LSU.

As the football QB prepares to enter the NFL, his girlfriend aims to get an MBA in Sports Marketing/Management.

Having played at Edward S. Marcus High School, Garrett played collegiate football at Lousiana State University. The LSU Tigers were also home to NFL players like Justin Jefferson and Joe Burrow.

While at college, he led his team to the 2023 Citrus Bowl and 2024 ReliaQuest Bow, thanks to athletic genes from his father, Doug Nussmier, a former NFL player-turned-coach.

Getting back to the topic, let’s explore everything about this young football player’s girlfriend and their relationship.

Garrett Nussmeier Met His Girlfriend In College: When Did They Begin Dating?

Garrett, an LSU Tigers football alum, and his girlfriend, Ella Springfield, are alumni of Lousiana State University. You may have guessed that they met in college and began dating.

Assumptions are that Nussmeier’s football career at college was the connection between the two, and they met through mutual friends. So far, neither of them ever revealed the details of their courtship.

However, it was not until January 2024 that their dating story gathered attention after Ella shared an IG post featuring Garrett where the two were hugging each other.

Two months later, in March 2024, she shared an IG post carousel from her 21st birthday celebration. One of the attendees on her birthday was her LSU QB boyfriend, Nussmeier.
