The West Virginia Mountaineers men’s basketball team just made a major move in the transfer portal by securing Chattanooga standout guard Honor Huff. The high-scoring, three-point sniper picked WVU over other strong programs like St. John’s, Iowa, Pittsburgh, and Vanderbilt, giving the Mountaineers a much-needed boost in the backcourt.
Standing at 5-foot-10 and weighing 168 pounds, Huff arrives in Morgantown as one of the top shooters in all of college basketball. Last season, he averaged 15.2 points, 2.3 assists, and 1.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 42.4% from the field and a lights-out 41.6% from three-point range. His 131 made three-pointers led the entire nation—a stat that alone made him a hot commodity in the portal.
Huff’s shooting prowess and versatility quickly made him a top target for West Virginia as new head coach Darian DeVries looks to rebuild nearly the entire roster. Huff becomes the third transfer commitment for WVU this offseason, joining UNC Wilmington center Harlan Obioha and North Texas forward Brenen Lorient.
Before shining at Chattanooga, Huff began his college career at VMI where he averaged 10 points per game as a freshman and made 18 starts. After sitting out the 2022–23 season due to transfer rules, he exploded in his second year with the Mocs, scoring 17.4 points per game and earning second-team All-Southern Conference honors.
In his most recent season, Huff took another leap, becoming a first-team All-Southern Conference selection thanks to his elite outside shooting. Nearly half of his made field goals came from above-the-break threes, showcasing both his deep range and shot creation. He’s not just a catch-and-shoot specialist—Huff can put the ball on the floor, drive to the rim, and pull up off the dribble. His ability to mix up scoring styles makes him a dynamic offensive threat.
Although not the biggest guard, Huff brings toughness, confidence, and a fearless mindset when facing bigger opponents. He’s also an underrated passer, capable of initiating offense and finding open teammates.
With only one year of eligibility remaining, Huff is expected to have an immediate impact. He fills a critical need for the Mountaineers, who are in the midst of an aggressive rebuild. The coaching staff has placed a high priority on bringing in guards, and Huff’s experience and elite shooting ability make him a cornerstone piece of that plan.
West Virginia’s recruitment of more guards is likely not over, but Huff provides the program with a scoring leader who can stretch defenses and create mismatches.
As the roster continues to take shape under Coach DeVries, the addition of Honor Huff signals a clear intent: the Mountaineers are reloading with high-level talent and aiming to return to national relevance quickly.
