QB2: Huesman plays important role as a backup

Andy McLean

Senior quarterback Jacob Huesman is one member of the App State football team who doesn’t see the field very often, but plays a very important role.

In high school, Huesman was a two-star recruit from Braden River High School in Florida. When it came time to pick a college, he chose App State over Florida International University and North Dakota State. This put him in the 2016 recruiting class with another quarterback: current starter Zac Thomas.

It wasn’t until the 2018 season that Huesman had a shot to compete for the starting quarterback position against Thomas.
