Russ Huesman sat down at the table with the high school quarterback recruit he was after on his left and the quarterback’s mother on his right. Directly across the table sat Huesman’s wide receivers coach Will Healy, ready to make his pitch to the high school junior.
The recruit Huesman and the staff had dubbed “the quarterback of the future” for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga program was the head coach’s son — Jacob Huesman.
Larger ACC schools like Georgia Tech and Wake Forest were expressing interest, but after the in-home conversation and reflection after watching the Mocs storm back to beat rival Furman, Jacob made his decision.
