LSU sophomore quarterback Michael Van Buren said Tuesday night he wants to stay on the team moving forward as the Tigers go through a coaching change.

“I love it here in Baton Rouge,” Van Buren said. “I love the place. I love Tiger Stadium. I just love everything about this place, and this is where I want to be. This is where I want to continue my career.”

With senior Garrett Nussmeier out of eligibility after this season, Van Buren is one of two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster who can return to LSU.

The other is redshirt freshman Colin Hurley, who “took a leave for personal-related matters,” interim coach Frank Wilson said Monday. Hurley missed the past two games against Alabama and Arkansas. Wilson said his absence is temporary.
