He then transferred to Chattanooga and sat out the 2022-23 season. He started all 33 games in 2023-24, averaging 17.4 points and making 109 three-pointers. Huff was named All-Southern Conference second team.

Huff helped Chattanooga go 29-9 this season and win the NIT championship. In the final against UC Irvine, Huff scored 14 points despite shooting just 3-of-13 from the field and 3-of-11 from three.

Huff set career highs of 31 points and nine three-pointers in a game against VMI this season.

WVU basketball has added a pair of transfers already this week in UNC-Wilmington’s Harlan Obioha and North Texas’s Brenen Lorient. High school recruit DeAndre Thomas Jr. also committed to WVU this week.
