Redshirt freshman quarterback Husan Longstreet threw a perfect strike across the middle with a nice loft that hit sophomore wide receiver Winnie Watkins in stride for a 58-yard touchdown near the end of a 113-play spring football scrimmage at Tiger Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The two-minute drill drive started at the LSU offense’s 18-yard line with 1:34 to play and the offense trailing by five points with no timeouts.
Longstreet, a transfer from USC who has been practicing with the first team with projected starter Sam Leavitt out with a foot injury, opened the drive with a 24-yard completion to freshman signee wide receiver Corey Barber Jr. for 24 yards to the 42-yard line. After two incompletions, Longstreet threw the TD with 1:03 to go to Watkins, a transfer from Ole Miss.
“These 3 letters across my chest aren’t just something I transferred into or got paid to do. This is what I believe in.”
