Huston came to Seminole State after spending a year and a half at Wharton County Junior College.

In 2010, his staff ranked in the top eight in ERA, innings pitched, hits allowed, and runs allowed in the TNMJCA while picking off 47 base runners. At Wharton, Huston had one recruit taken in the 2010 draft and saw five players sign four year scholarships. Under his leadership, the Pioneers had four players named to the TNMJCA All-Star team and five players named to the Region XIV All-Academic Team.
His collegiate coaching career began at Sul Ross State University where he served as the hitting/catching/outfield coach and recruiting coordinator. Under Huston, the offense set team highs for the past decade in average, hits, RBI, runs, doubles, and homeruns. His catchers also saw improvement and led the American Southwest Conference in throw out percentage at 32%. While at Sul Ross, Huston had one player named to the NCAA All-American team and three players named to the American Southwest All-Conference team. Perhaps the largest role Huston played at Sul Ross came as the recruiting coordinator where he made an immediate impact recruiting players from Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Arizona. Under the guidance of Head Coach Bobby Mesker, Huston's first recruiting class won 13 more games than the Lobos had since 1999.
Prior to his arrival at Sul Ross State, Huston spent a year in the front office with the Florida Marlins Triple-A Affiliate in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Huston has also served as a head coach for the Burkburnett Blacksox organization, a college preparatory program.
