The 5-foot-11, 206-pound Huff set new school records last season for the Ducks with 1,140 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns to go along with 62 receptions. In each of the last two seasons, Huff earned All-Pac 12 honorable mention accolades.

Huff finished his Oregon career with 144 receptions for 2,366 yards with 24 touchdowns in 49 games (36 starts). He also has experience as a rusher and kickoff returner.
