Sam Huard, Cal Poly, Player News

The combination of Sam Huard and Sheldon Cross produced 13,214 passing yards and 153 touchdowns - both state records - in four unparalleled seasons at Kennedy Catholic High School, from 2017 to 2021. They'll chase that same success in the FCS. Huard - a former five-star recruit, who announced a decision to enter the transfer portal after two seasons at Washington on Jan. 10 - will transfer to FCS Cal Poly, he announced on the "Brock and Salk" show on Seattle Sports Station 710 AM Monday.In the Bi g Sky Conference, Huard will reunite with Cross - who agreed to become Cal Poly's offensive coordinator this month after seven successful seasons as head coach at Kennedy Catholic. "Obviously the relationship with coach Cross I've had throughout my high school career and just how much he pushed me to grow as a person and as a player," Huard said Monday morning. " So, less than two years after enrolling at UW early as a five-star recruit, is looking for an offense that is familiar. "That [air raid system at Cal Poly] definitely also had a big impact on my decision," Huard said. "I've had two different systems in two years. I know if I was going to go choose another place where I'd have to learn a third system in three years there's obviously a lot of ch allenges with that." - Seattle Times

Sam Huard's story is not unique. Granted, there are certainly exclusive elements - how his father (Damon) and uncle (Brock) both starred in Seattle, cultivating a legacy of prolific quarterback play; how his last name became inextricably bound to a progr am as well as a position; how he set the state's prep passing record (with 13,214 yards) in his final game before enrolling early at Washington; how a ranking, a reputation and an expectation sat on the shoulders attached to his prized left arm. But Huar d's transfer fits with the larger trend. Indeed, the redshirt sophomore - who announced Tuesday he'll enter the transfer portal - is one of 13 quarterbacks ranked as a five-star recruit by the 247Sports Composite between the 2018 and 2021 classes. And of those 13 celebrated slingers, eight have since searched for a second home.That list includes Heisman Trophy winners Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young and Caleb Williams, a top draft pick in Justin Fields … and a graveyard filled with failed marriage s. Which doesn't mean Huard - or Uiagalelei - are destined for perpetual disappointment. Fields, Williams, Rattler and Nix have each found a measure of success at their second stops. But it does reveal an unfortunate fact surrounding the ongoing quarterb ack carousel: whether via the transfer portal or the high school ranks, signal callers are constantly coming to take your job. If you're not good enough, you'll be gone. - Seattle Times

Sam Huard is a work in progress. There was plenty of progress Friday morning. In UW's second practice of preseason camp, Huard - a 6-foot-2, 193-pound redshirt freshman and former five-star recruit - took the bulk of the starting reps, as UW continues to split first-team snaps among its three competing quarterbacks. (Junior Michael Penix Jr. was the primary starter Thursday, while sophomore Dylan Morris took sporadic starting snaps Friday as well.) Huard made the day's most glaring mistake, staring down a wide receiver while husky nickelback Dominique Hampton dropped into coverage and nabbed an easy interception. Huard didn't hesitate to make up for that mistake.A play later, the lefty took a shotgun snap and dropped a rainbow along the left sid eline for a picturesque 56-yard touchdown to wide receiver Jalen McMillan - who had bolted past cornerback Mishael Powell. Huard added two more majestic touchdowns, serving up a floater that wide receiver Rome Odunze outmuscled corner Jordan Perryman to corral for another 56-yard score, before exposing a secondary that bit hard on play-action to locate wideout Jabez Tinae for a 70-yard catch and run. In all, it was perhaps Huard's most complete practice performance since arriving at UW - and a necessary outburst to keep him in the hunt alongside Penix and Morris. UW coach Kalen DeBoer said Thursday that the three quarterbacks will receive equal reps at least through the team's first scrimmage Aug. 13. Ultimately, the quarterback who best minimizes mist akes might start Sept. 3 against Kent State. Huard certainly didn't let one such mistake submarine his first-team opportunity Friday morning. - Seattle Times

In perhaps his most impressive display since arriving at UW last spring, Sam Huard completed 12 of 19 passes and threw for 167 yards and a touchdown Saturday (April 29), in a spring scrimmage. WR Lonyatta Alexander Jr. - his high school teammate at Kenn edy Catholic - was his most productive target. Near the end of the scrimmage, Huard took a snap, looked left and unfurled a floating deep ball that Alexander pulled in with his left hand along the sideline for a 37-yard gain "It was kind of a little over thrown, so I knew if I put my hand out to go catch it I was going to catch it," Alexander said. "I felt the confidence. I felt the game slowing down as the ball was in the air. As soon as I felt the ball touch my hand I squeezed just a little bit, just t o hold on to it and come down with it." It was a return home for Alexander, who transferred back from Arizona State. "Being able to come back home and feel love still from Husky fans, from my family, from Sam and his family, my teammates and everything, it felt amazing" - Seattle Times
