What John Clay says: The LaGrange pipeline continues, and with good reason. Let us mention Braxton Kelley, etc. Even back to Quintion McCord. Huzzie was rated as the 35th best prospect in Georgia. Helped team to 11-3 record last year. Timed at 4.6 in the 40. Take notice of the Brooks quote below about Huzzie being “explosive.”

What UK says: Looking to continue the tradition of great linebackers from LaGrange ( Ga. ) High School … The No. 35 prospect in Georgia, according to SuperPrep … The nation's No. 45 outside linebacker and No. 55 prospect in Georgia as rated by Rivals.com … Has been timed as fast as 4.6 seconds in the 40-yard dash and has an excellent instinct for finding the ballcarrier … Helped lead LaGrange to an 11-3 record his senior season, including a spot in the semifinals of the state playoffs … Coached by Steve Pardue … Follows in the footsteps of two former Wildcats who were All-Southeastern Conference linebackers from LaGrange, Wesley Woodyard (now with the Denver Broncos) and 2008 senior Braxton Kelley … The Granger tradition also includes former wide receiver/current student coach DeMoreo Ford and current cornerback Randall Burden … Huzzie is a teammate of current Wildcat signees Tristian Johnson and Demetri Merritt … Name is pronounced “KWAY HUZ-ee.”

What Rich Brooks says: “Qua is one of the most explosive linebackers that I have seen in a long time. He's in a long line of LaGrange High School players that I think can come in and help us. I am looking forward to getting him on the practice field and watching him make plays. He certainly has outstanding explosion and speed.”
