Derek Terry over at CatsPause.com has the scoop. He is reporting Hughes is floating around in the portal, even though Hughes’ name hasn’t been added to 247’s portal site as I write this.
The news isn’t much of a surprise. Hughes has been away from the program since his arrest on fourth-degree assault charges back in December. The Paducah native did not participate in spring practice.
During happier times in Lexington, Hughes had a 49-yard touchdown on his first career touch, a reverse out of the Wildcat, against Murray State. He played in six other games last season and would’ve been a contender for serious minutes at receiver this coming season, if not for the off-field issue before the Citrus Bowl.
