Here is a scouting report on Hughes:

“He is a very good defenseman for a pretty good high school team and a good travel squad. When you see him out there, the first thing you notice is his motor: he never stops moving when the ball is in their end of the field. He is strong as well: you can tell he is going to get stronger as well at the next level when he continues to add more muscle to his frame, which is already solid.
“I think he is going to make his coaches pretty happy at the next level when he picks his school. Hughes is a leader on and off the field, and you can never have too many of them.”
