Braden Huff, the 6-foot-10 power forward from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, has made a surprising move by entering the NCAA transfer portal and leaving Gonzaga University. After a stint with the Bulldogs, Huff has decided to take his talents elsewhere, and his next destination is none other than Indiana University (IU) ¹.

 

Huff’s decision to join the Hoosiers is expected to significantly bolster their roster for the upcoming season. With his versatility as a forward, shooting range, and high basketball IQ, Huff is likely to make an immediate impact at IU. His addition will provide Coach Mike Woodson with more tactical options and add depth to the Hoosiers’ frontcourt ¹.

 

During his time at Gonzaga, Huff had limited on-court action, but he did show promise in his appearances. He was named to the WCC All-Freshman Team in 2024 and had notable performances, including a career-high 26 points in a win over San Diego ².

 

Huff’s transfer to IU marks a new chapter in his collegiate basketball journey. He’ll be joining a program that has been proactive in strengthening its roster through recruitment and the transfer portal. As Huff integrates into his new team, fans and analysts will be watching closely to see how he adapts and contributes to the Hoosiers’ quest for basketball prominence ¹.
