Jerry Hughes spent his entire high school and collegiate career playing football in the state of Texas.
Hughes played for Sugar Land Stephen F. Austin High School, and later played for the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth. It wasn’t until the Indianapolis Colts drafted him in Round 1 in 2010 that he left Texas.
After spending 2013-21 with the Buffalo Bills, Hughes decided to come back to the greater Houston area and play for his hometown NFL team.
