Former Utah quarterback Sam Huard will transfer to play for USC in 2025. It will mark the fourth team of his career as he also spent time at Washington (2021-22) and Cal Poly (2023).
Huard did not play in any games for the Utes this past season after underdoing surgery for an undisclosed injury. That allowed him to take a medical redshirt and he will have two years of eligibility left with the Trojans.
The year prior with Cal Poly, Huard started nine games to finish with 2,247 yards passing and 18 touchdowns to 10 interceptions. He also played five total games in his two seasons at Washington
As a recruit, Huard was a five-star prospect out of Kennedy Catholic High School in Bellevue, Washington, in the 2021 class. He ranked as the No. 16 overall player and No. 3 quarterback in the cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Huard is also the No. 1,641 overall player and No. 127 quarterback in this transfer cycle according to On3’s Transfer Portal Player Rankings. He will look to reach the potential at USC that many believed him to have coming out of high school.
