Former Penn State Football assistant coach Charles Huff gets his first chance at running his own program, hired by Marshall Football as their next head coach.

Huff, 37, spent three seasons as Penn State Football’s running backs and special teams coach from 2014-17, where he helped develop NY Giants eventual No. 2 overall pick Saquon Barkley.

“He helped mold me into the player and the man that I am today,” Barkley told The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman.
