About Derek
Expert Analysis
Matt DeBary | Prep Redzone Scout
An impressive junior linebacker flying under the radar, Hughes is a playmaker who can make a big impact defensively and on special teams. He plays hard, tackles properly, and was one of the more productive defenders in the area this fall. Playing for an outstanding Swainsboro program, Hughes made his small town proud with his 94 total tackles and five TFLs. He made 10+ tackles in four games while also making an impact against the pass. He’ll be one of the top returning defenders in the region next fall as a senior. He was an easy addition to the latest update and is now ranked as the No. 59 linebacker prospect in the state.
