USC QB Husan Longstreet transfers to LSU, will play for Lane Kiffin

LSU adds former USC backup QB Husan Longstreet to its roster to address quarterback needs with a dual-threat option and potential long-term starter under coach Lane Kiffin.

  • On Wednesday, Husan Longstreet announced he had signed with LSU Tigers following a Saturday, Jan. 11 campus visit.
  • Longstreet's ties to Lane Kiffin and LSU staff helped prompt LSU's pursuit, and he said, 'All of my family is from Louisiana. I grew up in Texas, then moved to Tennessee when I was 8-years-old. I moved to California when I was like 9- or 10-years old, so I spent most of my life in the South,' Longstreet told our USC football site.
  • Still a true freshman, Longstreet has limited college experience but showed flashes, completing 66.1% of passes for 1,641 yards and 19 touchdowns in high school and appearing in four games at USC Trojans.
  • The Tigers signed Sam Leavitt and Landen Clark, strengthening LSU's quarterback room amid ongoing competition, which Coach Brian Kelly oversees.
  • USC now faces depth questions after Longstreet's exit, leaving Lincoln Riley with Sam Huard and incoming Jonas Williams behind Jayden Maiava as the transfer portal closes Friday.
