Matt Hughes '13 Recruiting Profile

My name is Matt Hughes. I am  currently a junior at Whitman-Hanson Regional High School. I recently completed my 3rd season of football.As a freshman, I started at right tackle and eventually earned a starting role on the defensive line. That year, the freshman team went 9-2, the two loses were by a combined 4 points. As a sophomore, I started on both sides of the ball on a JV team that was mostly dominated by juniors. I was one of the only sophomores to earn consistant playing time. The JV team ended up going 11-0. This year, my junior year, Iwas the starting varsity nose tackle. I was sidelined with an injury and missed the first game, but through 10 games I complied 63 total tackles(6.3 tackle per game average) ,3 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. I am also a captain elect for the 2012 season, my senior season. When I was younger, I was always too heavy to play for my town's football team. This always gave me the drive to prove that I could compete with my peers and prove myself. I am a very coachable player and I possess a love for the game. To attend college and hopefully play football I most likely will need to apply for financial aid, I hope this does not deter you from contacting me to possibly play football at your school. Thank you.
