A 5-9, 180-pound prospect, Hubbard projects as a running back at the college level but can contribute in a variety of ways. According to MaxPreps, he rushed for 985 yards and 12 touchdowns as a junior in 2015, while also pitching in as a return man.
Hubbard is rated a 3-star recruit by Rivals.com. He is the second player to pledge to Duke’s 2017 class, joining Pensacola, Florida, wide receiver Damond Johnson.
