About Hugh

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Aggressive team player. I have played nearly every position on offense, defense and special teams.

I’m a positive person. I’m smart and a hard worker and I have a good sense of humor.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

Wrestling Track BALC - Bengal Athletic Leadership Club NHS

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I have been a captain on football, wrestling and track for multiple years which shows leadership. I had stepped in to play positions in football when there is a need and I have wrestled above my weight when needed which shows teamwork. I do community service through BALC and NHS.

My football program has had 3 head coaches during my 4 years which has been challenging.

Callaghan goes 6’0″ 190 pounds from Plainfield East.  As a defender at linebacker and defensive line he had 27 tackles including 4 TFL, 2 sacks, 1 pick six, and 1 fumble recovery.  Offensively in four games at QB he had 354 passing yards and 4 TD.  Crashes down the line of scrimmage vs the run. Takes good angles as a defender.  Solid arm strength as a QB.
