Former top 2023 recruit Malachi Nelson’s departure places an emphasis on USC securing an elite 2025 QB, in accordance with Lincoln Riley’s recruiting pattern
Five-star quarterback Julian Lewis, left, from Georgia has been a longtime commitment to USC, while Corona Centennial’s Husan Longstreet committed to Texas A&M in the spring. LOS ANGELES — When the calendar flips to an odd year, like clockwork, a new blue-chip heir to Lincoln Riley’s quarterback throne comes to his room – first across the Red River, then marching through the streets of Troy.
His decision has become the story of the summer, constant fodder for national recruiting services to materialize a potential flip. Lewis made a highly publicized visit to Indiana at the start of June. He made a highly publicized visit to Auburn in mid-June. He made a most-highly publicized visit to Colorado at the end of June.
As Lewis’ decision still hangs over USC, multiple sources told the Southern California News Group that USC had made a sustained push in recent weeks for 2025 Corona Centennial High quarterback Husan Longstreet,. A source with knowledge of the situation told the SCNG that two USC assistants – quarterbacks coach Luke Huard and outside receivers coach Dennis Simmons – had seen Longstreet throw in the spring.
Kevin Longstreet, however, told the SCNG that his son had mainly talked with Huard, and indicated it was highly unlikely he’d flip from Texas A&M. The presence of another committed quarterback, Kevin Longstreet said, had pushed his son away from USC. Still, though, the father left the door cracked ever so slightly.
It would be a massive commitment for USC in continuing a growing momentum behind House of Victory and setting Riley’s quarterback path straight after Nelson’s departure.
