Final Report
Huskey transfers from Bowling Green in 2024 and in his two years with the Terps turned into one of the Big Ten’s most consistent safeties. Huskey is an incredibly cerebral player. As a run defender he takes good angles and rarely overruns plays. He consistently wraps up ball carriers. In pass coverage he is very instinctual, racking up 3 or more INT in each year he was a starter. Huskey is too often a step slow. He can get burned by vertical speed on deep routes. His lack of foot speed hurts him at times when asked to run and chase ball carriers. Huskey lack of speed limits his ceiling but his instincts and fundamentals make him a very useful player. In a defensive scheme with a heavy dose of split safety coverages he can be an adequate starter.
