Overview

• Head coach Dan Lanning said Wednesday that the Ducks will grant the Tulane transfer's request to redshirt.
• Hughes logged 17 carries for 70 yards and two receptions for 24 yards through four games and did not travel for the win at Penn State.
• Opportunities shrank behind Noah Whittington, standout freshman Dierre Hill Jr., Jayden Limar, and Jordon Davison in a seven-deep room.
• By redshirting, Hughes preserves two full seasons of eligibility, having previously redshirted in 2022 due to injury at Tulane.
• Position coach Ra'Shaad Samples praised Hughes' maturity and daily approach despite the reduced snaps.
