Hughes Announcement A Week Away

Next Saturday, at a press conference at Jimmy’s Steakhouse in Virginia Beach (VA), Kempsville High School star Travis Hughes will reveal his college choice. If the 6-1, 220-pound senior linebacker/running back knows where he is going, he is not giving any indication.

“Next week is going to be key for me,” said Hughes, who made official visits to Clemson, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and Virginia Tech. “I’m really going to break down what the head coaches have to say. I think I’ll have fun doing it.”

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and Virginia head coach Mike London are scheduled for in-home visits, but Hughes admits that Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia Tech are higher on his list right now. UNC’s Butch Davis is expected in-home on Monday and Maryland’s Ralph Friedgen will be in-home later on next week.

Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer has already been in-home with the talented linebacker.
