Jett Huff is only getting started after an already historic season

From College Station High School to the University of Houston to the University of Central Oklahoma, Jett Huff has embraced the role of Broncho quarterback.

In his first season with Central Oklahoma, Huff has amassed 2876 yards and 28 touchdowns through nine games. 

Growing up with his dad as a high school football coach, Huff spent his whole life surrounded by the game. 

“I just wanted to be around, like it was so cool just to see guys older than you, you know,” said Huff. “And they were just in high school, but they seemed like pros to me because I was a little dude. So I was always in the locker room, I even had my own little locker.” 

Huff played with the same team from 2012 to 2022, a group that stayed together until they graduated high school. 

“I knew from a pretty early age that we had a real good group of guys and that we would have a chance to be good when we were older,” said Huff. “Get to high school, our freshman team, same thing, we were just beating the bricks off people.” 

Their senior year, they made it to the State Championship, and Huff, along with many of his teammates, went on to play college football, including corner Byron Johnson, who now plays for UCO. Huff went to the University of Houston for two years before coming to Central Oklahoma this season.

“It’s so much different from here. There’s great people in Houston, but the atmosphere of the program and what it’s like here, it’s just a lot different,” said Huff. “Here it’s just more of a family environment I would say, the team is so much closer to each other than it would be at a big school.” 

Huff said his two years at Houston serve as motivation now. 

“I was not the player that I thought I could be. You get a little discouraged, and maybe you don’t go as hard, or you don’t push yourself as much, and that definitely happened,” said Huff. “I just wanted to play, I thought I could still play, I thought I could get three good years.” 

After getting settled in Edmond, Huff said he enjoys football again, loving going to practice and the facility. He watches game film every day and plays golf every Thursday, which helps him with the mental game of football. 

“You fail more in golf than you do good. So learning how to deal with failing all the time, it really does help,” said Huff. “It is a mental game, it’s not a physical game. I mean, you can hit good shots all the time, but can you do it consistently?” 

Huff always knew he wanted to be a quarterback. His dad is a quarterback coach, so Huff started working out at an early age and never looked back. Now, Huff said he plans on sticking with UCO for the rest of his college career.
