Texas 4-star Quarterback Ruled Ineligible for Entire Senior Season Due to Eligibility Issues
A Texas high school quarterback has been ruled ineligible for his senior season due to a transfer deemed to be for athletic purposes. Colton Nussmeier, a four-star quarterback, moved to the Denton area from Flower Mound to play for Ryan High School after an injury-shortened junior season at Marcus High School.
The decision was made by a 3-3 District Executive Committee vote, with the tiebreaker coming down to the Prior Athletic Participation Form. Nussmeier, the younger brother of former LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, can appeal the ruling with the University Interscholastic League.
Nussmeier had recently competed in the Elite 11 Finals in Los Angeles and committed to the Georgia Bulldogs on June 5. He is ranked as the No. 200 overall prospect and the No. 12 quarterback, according to 247Sports. This decision makes him the latest high-profile name in Texas high school football to be ruled ineligible, following five-star cornerback John Meredith III, who was also deemed ineligible over the weekend.
