Expert Analysis
Cory Lemer | Prep Redzone Scout
Background: Hughey is a prospect who can play both sides of the ball for Newfane. His film is not up to date, so I reviewed older film, which will be evaluated here.
Size: Hughey has a solid frame for the QB position, and showcases good height standing at 6’0″. His weight at 160-Pounds, is under the weight chart, and he should look to reach the 185-195-Pound mark.
Arm Accuracy/Strength: Hughey showcases an arm, and the capability to hit all three levels of the field. He has decent accuracy, but the ball can be behind his targets, or stop them on their routes. He should look to improve his accuracy, and add to his strength.
Footwork/Mechanics: Hughey has work in progress footwork, and showcases good roll out skills, and can throw outside the pocket. His accuracy carries on these throws partly due to his footwork, which he should look to tweak. He has solid mechanics, and displays a good motion, pored with a solid zip. He should continue to improve his ball speed, and tighten his throws, to avoid floating the ball.
IQ: Hughey has a solid IQ, and it is definitely a top trait for the QB. I like his ability to move around the backfield and see the field. He can work through his progressions, and escape pressure when needed. He has solid legs and decent speed.
Final Word: Hughey is a work in progress QB. He is raw, and showcases solid traits that have potential but are not quite ready. He should look continue working on his traits and put in the offseason work this year.
