Jay Hughes brings versatile, physical DB play with proven ball production at Mississippi State
Jay Hughes was a dependable Mississippi State defensive back who played in 40 games with 16 starts and produced 70 career tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, six pass breakups, and two interceptions. His value was not just the box score: he was a versatile, physical presence in the secondary who could contribute as a tackler, cover man, and veteran stabilizer. He also battled through an Achilles injury early in his career and returned to play all 13 games in 2014, a good sign of toughness and resilience. He fits teams that want smart, steady, matchup-flexible secondary depth.
