Michael Huff (born March 6, 1983 in Irving, Texas) is currently a Free Safety for the Oakland Raiders and played CB/S for The University of Texas Longhorns.

College career

As a defensive back at Texas, Huff was selected in 2005 as consensus First Team All American safety and won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's best defensive back. In 2002, he earned a third-team Freshman All-American selection from the Sporting News. He had four career interceptions returned for touchdowns, a school record. In the Rose Bowl game against USC, Huff recovered a fumbled lateral from Reggie Bush, a play that many credit with changing the momentum of the game and helping the 2005 Texas Longhorn football team win the NCAA National Championship. He also was the key defender who prevented LenDale White (USC-RB) from gaining a 1st down on a 4th down and 2 with USC leading late in the 4th quarter. Texas's Vince Young then marched down the field and scored the touchdown that secured the Longhorn victory.
