Ralph Martin Huff (born December 19, 1948) is a former American football linebacker. He played for the University of Michigan from 1968 to 1970. As a senior, he was selected as a first-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association. After graduating from Michigan, Huff played professional football for the San Francisco 49ers (1972), Edmonton Eskimos (1973), and Charlotte Hornets (1974–1975). ==Early years== Huff was born in Houston, Texas in 1948,〔 but he grew up in the Old West End of Toledo, Ohio.〔 He was one of the five sons of Ralph and Martha Huff. Ralph Huff was an All-Indiana football player who attended Indiana University in the 1930s. Each of the five Huff sons played football at St. Francis de Sales High School in Toledo. Huff later recalled: "It was kind of crazy. I had two brothers who picked on me, but I had two other brothers to pick on. Dad was a pretty big guy, so we didn't mess around too much in the house. As far as football goes, Dad never forced the issue. If we didn't want to play, that was OK with him."〔 As a freshman at St. Francis de Sales, Huff was 6 feet, 2 inches tall, weighed 145 pounds, and had no intention to play football. He liked basketball, but the school's football coach, Dick Mattingly, persuaded Huff's brother to get Marty to try out for the team.〔 Huff became a multi-sport star at St. Francis de Sales. He received two varsity letters in basketball, four in track and three in football.〔 In track, he won the City League discus and shot put championships and set a school record in the shot put with a throw of 59 feet, 2 inches.〔 He played fullback for the St. Francis de Sales and, along with his brother Andy Huff (who later starred for Notre Dame), led the team to a City League championship and a 10-0 record in 1966.〔 That same year, Huff also set the school's single season record with 1,191 rushing yards,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=St. Francis de Sales High School )〕 a record that stood for 10 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marty Huff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
