HBCU bound: LB Marlon Huff to Tennessee State

DELRAY BEACH – Marlon Huff has found a college football home.

After mulling his options, the Atlantic (Delray Beach) 2024 linebacker chose to go with an HBCU institution earlier this morning (Oct. 25). He went with Tennessee State, a program that is led by head coach and NFL legend Eddie George.

Huff is currently having a great senior season at Atlantic, as he had made some memorable plays on both sides of the ball in multiple games.

Currently ranked as our No. 12 overall player in Palm Beach County for the 2024 class, the 6-foot-3, 235-pound linebacker received his offer from Tennessee State on Sept. 25, which was exactly one month ago.

Blessed to receive an offer from Tennessee state 🐯🔵 @CoachMashack @CoachMurray_Z6 @TheCribSouthFLA @Ball4everQuis @JKBFitLLC pic.twitter.com/lgYbRLGNRX

Having an NFL legend as the head coach may have been all that Huff needed to be sold on the HBCU institution.

We wish Huff nothing but the best in all of his future endeavors.
