With Jaxon Dart returning and Spencer Sanders in the mix, it's not a surprise, so why did he leave again?

Because contrary to popular belief he didn’t leave because Jayden came back. He left because Nuss decided to stay

This, and ultimately I can't blame him.

When he was recruited, Nussmeier wasn't that highly regarded, just filler. Howard was expecting to redshirt, and then sit another year maybe if Daniels returned, and get 3 (if he completes his eligibility) seasons as starter.
Nussmeier became the clear "next in line" last year, and he's only one yr ahead of Howard.

It's actually a good thing for LSU, if bad for Howard. We have a young QB in reserve that a top recruit couldn't beat out.
