Darrius Hughes '19 Recruiting Profile

My goal is to play basketball in college on a full ride scholarship. I want to be able to do what I love and get an education while doing it. I have loved basketball since I was a child and I have a deep passion for the game. I want to pursue a degree in either broadcasting,marine biology, or business. I have high hopes to play basketball at the professional level and to achieve my ultimate dream of getting paid to play the sport that I love. But I still am looking forward to getting my degree while working towards that goal. I think I have several traits that set me apart from other athletes. I am a leader that knows how to listen and take notes and I can lead not only through ideal conditions, but also through adversity. I have been through adversity myself which has only shown me how to overcome it. I inherit a good work ethic from my family members. And that helps me to continue to propell myself to the next level time and time again. Lastly , I bring a great deal of positivity with me wherever I go. I bring joy to my teammates and positive feelings.
