Tape Analysis (Huff)
Plays the position from an advanced skill set relating to timing, anticipation, touch. A legitimate dual threat quarterback who is equipped with elite pocket feel & play making ability, especially when turning a broken play into a positive. Is one of the best prospects I have ever graded in this respect. His instincts, feel & explosion as a rusher creating via second reaction movement is elite. Huff operated consistently from a spread gun offense during his career, which began at Presbyterian University way back in 2019. He then transferred to Furman in 2022 while finishing up playing for Rich Rodriguez at Jacksonville St. in 2024 as a sixth year Sr.
Advanced understanding of anticipating windows at the intermediate level. Consistently showed comfort leading targets into windows on time. Efficient setup from the gun. Quick, efficient delivery that he uses to make defenses pay. Understands how to throw with touch across multiple types of throws (dig, fade, corner, out) which will help to diminish any concerns about his NFL learning curve in adjusting to NFL style offenses. Arm strength is nothing spectacular & will limit his potential within certain areas of the NFL passing game but I believe he makes up for it by being above average in many other categories of the position. All this being said, there will be an adjustment for Huff in terms of learning how to play the position from an NFL offensive perspective, only from a scheme standpoint & not from an ability to function standpoint. As stated earlier, he was in the shotgun almost 100 percent of the time during his college career, however I feel he is athletically equipped from a skill level & natural athleticism perspective to adjust quickly to this change.
One of the best deep ball throwers in the entire class in terms of feel & ball placement. Will both feather & rip the ball beautifully on fades & is able to anticipate throws at a high level. He has a naturally quick stroke that he uses as a weapon in these instances. His ability to isolate where to go with the ball quickly on the move is impressive as he looks like Baker Mayfield in this regard. A natural leader who is a football player at heart. Brings with him to the NFL a rare combination of physical toughness (a true football player at heart) & elite athletic instincts while also possessing a nuanced feel & understanding for the passing game.
Projection (Huff)
I truly believe Huff is a certified diamond in the rough for the 2025 quarterback draft class. I expect him to be drafted late (Rounds 5-7). Reminds me of a more athletically gifted Gardner Minshew meets Baker Mayfield without quite the high end arm strength of Baker. If things fall into place for him at the next level, he will end up becoming a highly effective starting quarterback due to his level of talent. The most intriguing small school quarterback prospect in this class.
