Damon Huffman ’08, the 2005 Ivy Rookie of the Year and a 2008 First Team All-Ivy member, graduated with 1,306 career points. It was the eighth-highest mark in program history. Currently, it stands at No. 13 all-time.

During his senior season, Huffman was instrumental in leading Brown to 19 victories, a school record, including an 11-3 mark in the Ivy League, the second-best in school history.

In 2005, Huffman earned both the Jim Turner ‘86 Award, presented to the member of the team who was most improved, and the Dave Zucconi ‘55 Award presented to the most selfless team member.

In 2006, he was named the Stan Ward Award winner, presented to the player who contributes most to the team. In 2007, Huffman earned the Rusty Tyler Coaches Award, presented to the team member who has given the most of himself for the good of the team. And in 2008, he won the Woody Grimshaw Memorial Award, presented to the member of the team showing the most positive attitude and best spirit.

Huffman and his backcourt mate Mark McAndrew ’08 are entering the Brown Athletic Hall of Fame together. Current coach Mike Martin ’04 sums up the dynamic duo as follows: “they led by example TOGETHER, they outworked everyone TOGETHER, they helped Brown become one of the toughest teams in the Ivy League TOGETHER, and they won big TOGETHER.”

Coach Martin adds “playing against that Brown team was an unpleasant task for anyone. They were as physically strong and mentally disciplined a team as there was in the Ivy. They cut with force and defended with vigor. This mentality was carried out under the leadership of Damon and Mark.”
