Despite worsening illness, he made a crucial 59-yard catch before halftime and later broke free for a 66-yard TD, sealing a 28-7 win with a key defensive stop. A record-setting junior who dominated both offense and defense, Hughes remains humble and team-first, ready to play wherever needed at the next level — proving leadership, grit, and heart define his legacy.

With big offseason additions like Elgton Jenkins, Tytus Howard, and top draft pick Spencer Fano, they’re stacking talent at key spots — but the right guard battle is still heating up between rookies Austin Barber and KT Leveston and veteran Teven Jenkins. Barber, despite switching from tackle to guard, is soaking up wisdom from vets and proving his adaptability. Coach Monken’s message is clear: no flashy receivers or running backs can shine if the line can’t protect and open lanes. This unit isn’t just important — it’s the foundation. Without it, all the firepower is just noise.
