What to Know About Lane Kiffin's QBs Longstreet, Landen Clark amid LSU-Ole Miss' Leavitt Injury Saga

Amid skepticism from Mississippi about Sam Leavitt's status, the college football world is learning about Husan Longstreet and Landen Clark if either one has to start for LSU in Saturday's marquee SEC showdown.

ESPN's Pete Thamel reported on Thursday that none of the Ole Miss coaches are convinced Leavitt's is going to miss the game despite being listed on the injury report as doubtful.

In the event Leavitt does miss the game, Longstreet and Clark would be the two candidates to start in his place. All three quarterbacks were added in the transfer portal in January after Lane Kiffin's hiring.

Longstreet has a much higher pedigree as a 5-star recruit and No. 4 overall quarterback in the 2025 class. He appeared in four games at USC as a freshman, completing 13 of 15 pass attempts for 103 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions.

Clark spent last season as the starting quarterback for FCS program Elon. He threw for 2,321 yards, ran for 614 yards and accounted for 29 touchdowns in 12 games as a true freshman.
