West Virginia University Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Shane Lyons’ statement on the passing of Mountaineer Football Legend Sam Huff
“Mountaineer Nation is saddened to learn of the passing of WVU football legend Sam Huff. What a great Mountaineer who always cared for and loved his University. Sam’s teams in the mid-1950s were among the best in college football, and his years playing professional football for the New York Giants and Washington Redskins brought great fame to West Virginia University. Throughout his accomplished life, Sam never forgot his alma mater.
“Our thoughts and prayers go to his family, and may this Hall of Famer forever rest in peace."
