Huntley claimed NCAA honors for the first time in his career last season, taking eighth place at the NCAA Championships to cap a 24-11 senior season at 197 pounds. He was ranked among the nation's top 10 for the bulk of the season, earning notable wins over Ohio's Phil Wellington, Purdue's Braden Atwood and Wisconsin's Timmy McCall, who he defeated, 7-2, in the NCAA Round of 12.
A two-year team captain, Huntley lost the majority of two collegiate seasons due to injury, suffering a season-ending ACL tear at the EMU Open as a true freshman (2010-11) and a season-ending pectoral tear at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational as a junior (2013-14).
He is a three-time NCAA qualifier at 197 pounds and has compiled a 60-45 record over his five collegiate seasons. He dipped down to 184 pounds for his shortened junior campaign before bumping back up to 197 pounds for his breakout season last year.
Huntley, who graduated in April with a bachelor's degree in English, has enrolled in the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy and will begin coursework toward a Master of Public Policy degree this fall.
With the addition of Huntley, the Wolverines will return five NCAA All-Americans and all 10 of their 2015 NCAA qualifiers for the 2015-16 season.
