When you see a 6-7 228 lbs. young man your first thought is wow that guy must play basketball. Better yet a guy who stops playing football after his sophomore year in order to focus more on basketball seems logical. Even more interesting is a highly touted power forward who hangs up the gym shoes for a pair of cleats.
All of the above is referring to Adrian Hubbard. A senior at Norcross high school just outside of Atlanta, GA. In one of the biggest late bloomers I have ever seen on a football field this former basketball player has spent the last year focusing all his efforts on the gridiron. The standout weakside defensive end has come on in his senior season and the recruiting trail has reflected his impact. This unknown player at the beginning of the season, has recently picked up upwards of 20 offers including most of the SEC and ACC schools.
What Adrian brings to the field is something to rave about. Most players of his stature do not have the mobility and agility that Adrian has. When I watch him I think of a taller version of Jason Taylor. He has excellent feet that position him to make plays all over the field. Adrian also uses his hands and extension to engage and get rid of blockers. With his long stride he can make plays behind the line of scrimmage as well as down field. The biggest thing that standout to me is his advance level of play for a guy who is really a basketball player. Adrian has a very aggressive reckless style that makes him a dream to coach. His unlimited potential is what has coaches raving. Check out his film an see how talented and advance this guy really is.
