Overview

  • The Los Angeles Times reports Longstreet officially entered the NCAA transfer portal on Thursday, a year after arriving as a top 2025 recruit.
  • He appeared in four games as a true freshman, completing 13 of 15 passes for 103 yards with 76 rushing yards and three total touchdowns while preserving a redshirt.
  • Jayden Maiava’s decision to play another season at USC kept Longstreet behind on the depth chart, and Lincoln Riley had recently urged him to stay patient.
  • The decision comes days after his older brother, USC cornerback Kevin Longstreet, also entered the portal.
  • USC is down to two quarterbacks, including true freshman Jonas Williams, and is expected to seek a veteran option as the transfer window closes Jan. 16.
