I always viewed this as his No. 1 landing spot once he entered the portal, but once Sam Leavitt signed, that muddied the waters a bit. If his sole reason for leaving SC was that he wanted to start next season, then signing at LSU to sit behind Leavitt for a year is certainly interesting.

Thoughts? Will have a video out shortly.

This is always where I saw him landing, as I said last week on the USC LAFB Show, but it is definitely more strange now that LSU signed Leavitt.

So Longstreet leaves USC looking for an opportunity to start right away, but goes to a program where he will likely sit a year. https://t.co/AOo9QzyKLb
