Jerry Hughes, Jr. (born August 13, 1988) is an American football linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Texas Christian University, and was recognized twice as a consensus All-American. He was selected by the Colts in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
Hughes received three varsity letters in football while attending Austin High School in Fort Bend County, Texas, where he played running back. As a senior in 2006 Jerry rushed for 1,412 yards and totaled 19 touchdowns to capture First-team All-District 20-5A honors. Hughes also earned First-team All District as a Kick Returner. Hughes also lettered in baseball where he played third base and pitcher.
Considered only a two-star recruit out of high-school by recruiting service Rivals.com, Hughes failed to draw a lot of attention and only received a few scholarship offers. He picked TCU over Iowa State, Arizona State and North Texas.
Hughes accepted an athletic scholarship to attend Texas Christian University, and played for the Texas Christian Horned Frogs football team from 2006 to 2009. Head coach Gary Patterson recognized Hughes' natural athleticism and assigned him jersey number 98, usually reserved for defensive lineman. Before the season, Patterson worked Hughes in at defensive end, and he was able to earn playing time there as a freshman.
