Huff played for two years at Utah after spending her first two collegiate seasons at the University of Hawai’i. While at Utah she was a two-time first-team All-Pac 12 selection and became a 1,000-point scorer in her two seasons there.
In her two seasons at Utah, Huff averaged 17.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.
Huff is a versatile player, able to drive, but also an efficient three-point shooter.
She was selected 26th overall in the 2019 WNBA by the New York Liberty on April 10, but was waived six weeks later.
Huff spent the rest of last summer playing on the first independently-owned professional women’s 3×3 team, Force 10. The team is owned by Seattle Storm owner Force 10 Management.
