JACKSONVILLE - Ridgeview High graduate and quarterback Tyler Huff continued his football journey after three college stops, a bucket of passing records and wins at three colleges and a military career to boot by recently signing (May 20) to play quarterback with the Jacksonville Sharks of the Indoor Football League.

"I was in the Canadian Football League for about a week, but got cut," said Huff. "The Sharks called me the next day."
Huff, a 6'-1", 200 pound signal caller at Presbyterian College for four years, then played a year as a graduate student at Furman University where he put Furman into the FBS national championship tournament.
After Furman, Huff continued to play as a graduate player at Jacksonville State University where he won the 2024 Conference USA Football Championship title and a spot in the StaffDNA Cure Bowl in Orlando where Ohio held off a Huff-led fourth quarter rally to win 30-27. Huff set a Cure Bowl passing record with 349 yards in the air including a 75 yard scoring play.
Huff joined the Sharks in late May and got into the most recent game, a May 24 46-40 come from behind win over the Fishers Freight team two weeks ago, got into the game as Sharks quarterback in the third quarter and promptly created a 28 yard touchdown scamper on his first offensive series to cut the Freight 28-13 lead to 28-20. The Sharks defense gave Huff another series of downs and the versatile playmaker hurdles a defender to get a first and goal that ended with a field goal to 28-23.
In the fourth quarter, Jacksonville forced a fumble. Ka'ron Ashley got a key first down at the 13 yard line. Then Huff handed the ball to Sharks running back Larry Mccammon for a touchdown. Head coach Jason Gibson decided to go for two. The play was good and the Sharks took a 31 to 28 lead.
Huff finished the game with three touchdown runs off 72 yards on the ground and had 37 passing yards.
In his initial start as quarterback for the Sharks, in a 43-29 loss to the Massachusetts Pirates on Thursday, May 29, Huff scored four touchdowns; two via rush, two via passes of 35 and five yards, but the Sharks roster had a host of injuries prior to the loss.
The Sharks return to Jacksonville on Sat., June 7 to host the Arizona Rattlers, the defending IFL champions.
