Mike Hughes (born February 11, 1997) is an American football cornerback for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at UCF.

Early years

Hughes attended New Bern High School, where he lettered in football, track and field and basketball. Hughes played quarterback at New Bern.[1] As a senior in 2014, Hughes passed for 1,263 yards and 10 touchdowns and also rushed for 1,355 yards and 22 more touchdowns, guiding his team to an undefeated season and an NCHSAA 4A state championship. He was named to the all-state team and played in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas. Hughes was ranked the No. 3 cornerback in North Carolina and committed to the University of North Carolina to play college football.[2]

College career

Hughes played one year at North Carolina in 2015. In October 2015, he was suspended along with M. J. Stewart, and was charged with misdemeanor assault charges from an altercation that had occurred earlier that month.[3][4] He left the team after the season and transferred to Garden City Community College, where he spent a year.[5]

In 2017, Hughes transferred to the University of Central Florida (UCF)[6][7] and participated in UCF's undefeated 2017 season, for which they claim a national championship.[a] Hughes made headlines with his game-sealing 95-yard kickoff return in the November 24, 2017, War on I–4 game against the South Florida Bulls,[11][12][13][14] with Orlando Sentinel writer Shannon Green remarking that the play saved the undefeated season for the Knights.[14]

Hughes left UCF after one season, deciding to forgo his senior year and enter the 2018 NFL Draft.[15]
