De'erek Hubbard brings low-center burst and depth-value upside to St. Thomas
In the 2025 season, De'erek Hubbard logged 15 carries for 53 yards for St. Thomas, giving him a small but real sample as a compact running back at 5-6, 176 pounds. He was a 2024 Pioneer Football League Academic Honor Roll selection and redshirted to preserve eligibility, which suggests both discipline and long-term developmental value. His best fit is as a change-of-pace back who can compete in a crowded room, with added appeal from his all-state high school résumé at Derby.
