Elite Pass-Rusher with NFL-Ready Frame and Rare Athleticism
The 6-6, 257-pound defensive end from Klein Oak High School signed with Oklahoma as a highly-touted prospect in the Class of 2011. Hughes combines rare size and length for the position with explosive first-step quickness, making him a disruptive force off the edge. His ability to set the edge, shed blocks, and pursue laterally translates well to college football. For teams seeking a high-motor, versatile defensive lineman who can impact both run and pass plays, Hughes represents a developmental prospect with significant upside and the physical tools to develop into a consistent contributor at the Power Five level.
