Hubbard's high school coach says OSU star is the type to step up and lead

Curtis Martin knows Chuba Hubbard, the Canadian star running back at Oklahoma State University, isn't afraid to step up and be a leader.

"It's exactly what I'd expect from Chuba," said Martin, who was Hubbard's football coach at Bev Facey Community High School in Sherwood Park, Alta. "This is just what he does.

"If he believes in a cause, if he sees something that isn't right or isn't OK by his moral compass, he's going to call it out. I think it's still surprising, though, because sometimes even great people don't do the right thing and I think that's why when people do the right thing we appreciate it so much.
