The Texas A&M football program suffered a significant setback in their 2025 recruiting efforts as five-star quarterback Husan Longstreet from Corona, California, committed to the USC Trojans, flipping from his previous pledge to the Aggies.

A Coveted Talent Slips Away

A Promising Prospect's Change of Heart

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Longstreet initially committed to Texas A&M in April, but his decision-making process took an unexpected turn following a visit to the Trojans' campus earlier this month. The highly sought-after 2025 prospect ultimately opted to stay in his home state of California, announcing his commitment to USC via a social media post this past weekend.As a junior at Centennial High School, Longstreet showcased his impressive skills, throwing for 3,013 yards and 24 touchdowns while also rushing for 645 yards. His standout performance at the Elite 11 Finals further solidified his reputation as one of the top quarterback prospects in the nation. Now, the Aggies must regroup and adjust their 2025 recruiting strategy in the wake of this significant loss.

Implications for the Aggies' 2025 Class

The departure of Longstreet is a significant blow to the Aggies' 2025 recruiting class, which 247 Sports currently ranks 10th in the country. With the five-star quarterback no longer in the fold, Texas A&M finds itself without a committed signal-caller for the 2025 cycle.Despite this setback, the Aggies' 2025 class remains anchored by 12 four-star recruits, including Texas defensive lineman DJ Sanders and Florida safety Rashad Johnson. However, the loss of Longstreet leaves a noticeable void that the coaching staff will need to address in the coming months.

Aggies Shift Focus to Upcoming Challenges

The Aggies are coming off a convincing 38-3 victory over New Mexico State and now turn their attention to a crucial Week 13 matchup against the Auburn Tigers. With a 4-6 record and a 1-5 conference mark, the Tigers present a formidable challenge for the Aggies as they look to maintain their momentum and position themselves for a strong finish to the season.As the Aggies navigate the remainder of their schedule, the loss of Longstreet will undoubtedly be a talking point, but the team must remain focused on the task at hand. The coaching staff will need to quickly regroup and identify alternative quarterback options to bolster their 2025 recruiting class, ensuring that the program's long-term success is not compromised by this unexpected setback.
