Hughley currently attends Gainesville High School, the same school as former Tigers national champion quarterback Deshaun Watson.
During his sophomore season at Gainesville High School, Hughley threw for 2,543 passing yards and 22 touchdowns while adding three touchdowns on the ground. In his first season as a star, he helped lead the Red Elephants to a 7-4 record while reaching the Georgia High School Football Playoffs.
His best game of the season came against Roswell High School, when he threw for 456 yards and six touchdowns.
Hughley joins three-star linebacker Max Brown (Jefferson, Ga) as the Tigers' two pledges for the class of 2027.
For the class of 2026, the Tigers have two quarterbacks committed: three-star Tate Reynolds (Queen Creek, Arizona) and fellow three-star Brock Bradley (Hoover, Alabama). As of July 10, the Tigers' 2026 class is currently ranked as the tenth-best recruiting class in the country.
