Brian Huffman’s leg was Northwestern’s Swiss Army knife
Brian Huffman was a do-everything special-teams weapon for Northwestern in the 2003-2004 seasons, handling punting and place-kicking with real volume and versatility. In the 2003 season, he averaged 41.5 yards per punt and also handled field goals and kickoffs, while in the 2004 season he remained the lone veteran special-teamer, valued for his composure and double-duty reliability rather than flashy hype. He’s the kind of fit you want if you need a steady, multi-role specialist who can keep the operation simple and dependable.
