There has been a series of news about LSU football quarters in recent weeks. Nothing major, because the starter Garrett Nussmeier remains in place, but two new names have joined the lap. These additions came after LSU saw a movement in the transfer portal, losing two quarters and adding another.
In addition to the staff changes, we received an update from head coach Brian Kelly on the status of the Colin Hurley quarter after his car accident last month.
Kelly said Hurley stayed in Jacksonville, but that “progress is real”.
Kelly said that conversations with Hurley’s father were positive, but that it is a daily situation, and that there is no calendar for his return.
Hurley was originally a member of the 2025 recruitment class before reclassifying until 2024. He was only 17 years old, so LSU left his health updates under the direction of the family.
Today, we will examine where the room is located after new additions and the recovery of Hurley.
LSU adds a three stars from Louisiana
LSU did not sign a quarter of the secondary school in its recruitment class in 2025. The tigers spent most of the cycle focused on Bryce Underwood five stars, and LSU did not have many Options when Underwood turned to Michigan.
However, LSU added Emile Picarella to the list in a role on foot.
Picarella is from University Lab secondary school in red Baton. He will not have to travel far to go to Lsu. According to the classification of ON3 industry, Picarella is a three-star recruit and the classified quarterrier n ° 83 in the class.
LSU needed figures in the QB room, in particular given the uncertain status of Hurley. Picarella gives LSU another competent arm with talent.
LSU moves the first-order athlete to the quarter-Arrière
Picarella is not the only new addition to the LSU quarter room. Ju’juan Johnson is now listed as a quarter-arre on LSU list.
Johnson signed with LSU in 2024. He was originally working with the secondary before going to the ball carrier. Now another change of position in Johnson with the quarters.
Johnson is back to the post he played in high school, where he was one of the most productive players in the history of football at the Lycée de Louisiana.
It is not clear if this is a long -term decision or if LSU will use Johnson in special packages this year.
The future of Colin Hurley
The last update on Hurley was positive, but it is not clear when he joins the team. Hurley is talented and if his recovery continues to progress, he will be able to compete for the departure place in 2026.
In a screening report in 2023, ON3 Charles Power was impressed by the natural talent of Hurley’s arms.
“Hurley is a powerful and compact passer and uses his strong base and his loose arm to drive the tension without tension,” wrote Power.
Updated depth board
LSU has lost AJ Swann and Rickie Collins in the transfer portal, but added the old quarter of the state of Mississippi Michael Van Buren.
Nussmeier holding first place, Van Buren slips into the QB2 role. After Van Buren is the place where it gets complicated. Johnson will probably enter the spring as LSU QB3 with Hurley far from the team.
