Todd Larkin Husak (born July 6, 1978) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Stanford Cardinal. He played his only NFL game for the Washington Redskins.
Husak was born in College Station, Texas, moved to Long Beach, California when he was 2 years old and graduated from St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California.[1]
Husak played college football at Stanford University[2] and, as the starting quarterback, led the Cardinal to the Rose Bowl in 2000. It was the school's first such appearance since 1972. Husak was named first-team All-Pac-10 for the 1999 season, when he led Stanford to the Rose Bowl. He was also named co-Most Valuable Player of the 2000 Hula Bowl. Husak threw for 6,564 yards and 41 touchdowns while at Stanford, ranking him fifth all-time for both passing and touchdowns among Stanford quarterbacks.
Husak was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins,[3] [4] for whom he saw limited action that season. After his time with the Redskins, he spent a few years in the NFL as an offseason or practice squad member of the Denver Broncos, New York Jets, and Cleveland Browns. He also spent one season with the Berlin Thunder of NFL Europa, and led the Thunder to the league championship in World Bowl X in 2002.
Husak retired from professional football in 2004. In 2005, he served as a graduate assistant football coach at Stanford, working with tight ends.
Beginning with the 2008 college football season, Husak began serving as the color commentator for Stanford football radio broadcasts. He served as the color commentator for 15 years before stepping away to focus on his real estate career.[5]
