“He works really hard at it, and it’s fun to coach guys who’re just a football guy,” Riley said. “Husan doesn’t have a million other interests off the field — he loves ball. He’s up at the facility all the time. He’s just really into it.”
Longstreet has been working with the coaching staff to fine-tune his mechanics and gain a stronger command of the offense. QB’s coach, Luke Huard, also praised his attitude, pointing to his eagerness to grow and willingness to grind.
As a senior at Centennial High School, Longstreet had 1,641 passing yards and 19 touchdowns, rushing for 494 yards and six more scores, a true dual-threat QB with the potential to thrive in Riley’s system.
