Scouting Report Part II

Pass Block:

Not very technically sound, big time waist bender, and dips his head pretty bad. Again, another area of his game that is limited with reps. Getting more involved in the passing game as a whole will be huge for Hubbard. (6/10)

Motor/Toughness:

Hubbard very rarely gets tackled for a loss and is always looking for the positive yards. He isn’t afraid to lower his head and run between the tackles. When the first down is in sight, he’ll work hard to get there. (8.5/10)

Contact Balance:

Runs between the tackles with good pad level, allows him to run through arm tackles. One of the stronger areas of his game, he is able to run between the tackles with success and is able to slip through the smallest of creases. Refused to go down in the Oklahoma game, didn’t seem to go down with first contact, even second. (9/10)

Long Speed:

Not an absolute burner, but he has the speed to beat angles around the corner and take it the distance. He got caught several times in the bowl game against Texas A&M, however, still has the speed to turn a big-play here and there. (7/10)
