Early years

Huntley attended Hallandale High School in Hallandale Beach, Florida. During his career, he passed for 9,053 yards and 106 touchdowns. As a senior, he was the Florida Gatorade Football Player of the Year.[1] He committed to the University of Utah to play college football.[2][3] Huntley would be reunited with high school teammate Zack Moss, as they would both end up going to the University of Utah.

College career

As a true freshman at Utah in 2016, Huntley played in four games as a backup to Troy Williams. Huntley was named the starter over Williams in 2017.[4][5] He started 10 games, missing three due to injury and completed 199 of 312 passes for 2,411 yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.[6] Huntley started the first nine games of his junior year in 2018, missing the last five due to injury.[7] He finished the season completing 150 of 234 passes for 1,788 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions. He returned as the starter his senior year in 2019.[8]

Professional career

Huntley signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent on April 30, 2020.[9] He was waived on September 5, 2020, and signed to the team's practice squad the next day.[10][11] He was elevated to the active roster on December 2 for the team's week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers to back up Robert Griffin III and Trace McSorley, and reverted to the practice squad after the game.[12][13] He was elevated again on December 19 for the week 15 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars to back up Lamar Jackson, and reverted to the practice squad again after the game.[14] In the fourth quarter, Huntley stepped in for Jackson and went 2 of 4 for seven yards along with four rushes for 18 rushing yards (which included two kneel downs) as the Ravens won 40–14.[15] On December 26, 2020, Huntley was again promoted to the active roster for the Week 16 matchup against the New York Giants, although he did not see any action in the 27-13 win. On January 2, 2021, Huntley was once again promoted to the active roster for Week 17 against the Cincinnati Bengals. As the game quickly became a Ravens blowout, he entered the game late in the third quarter. He completed only one pass attempt for eight yards while rushing six times for five yards as the Ravens won 38-3.[16] On January 10, he was activated for the fourth straight week to be the backup Lamar for the AFC Wild Card matchup against the Tennessee Titans as well as the AFC Divisional Round game against the Buffalo Bills, playing the entire fourth quarter of the later game after Jackson was knocked out with a concussion.[17] He went 6 of 13 for 60 passing yards along with three rushes for 32 yards, but the Ravens lost 3–17.[18] On January 18, 2021, Huntley signed a reserve/futures contract with the Ravens.[19]
