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

Don't think that'll be too hard with the QB class this year

Seems weak right now and any QB can make a push for the first two rounds now, if he has a decent year there will definitely be talks of him leaving

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.

You don't have to put up crazy numbers to get in the top 2 rounds. We've seen this time after time with NFL GMs. They will reach for an average QB (Rosen, Trubisky, JJ McCarthy, Maye, Mac & Daniel Jones, Kenny Pickett, etc. )

This is Nussmeier money year. He's losing the entire offensive line (except Chester) . Lacy and CJ Daniels are seniors. Hilton can play his was into 3rd-4th rd if he can stay healthy and be consistent.
