In three seasons as a passer, Hubbard had 5,288 passing yards, 55 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, completing 65.4% of his 587 pass attempts. As a runner, Hubbard added 4,044 yards and 52 touchdowns, averaging 7.9 yards per touch.
As Ocean Springs’ quarterback, Hubbard led the Greyhounds to 32 wins in 37 games, a player who “ticks a little bit differently than your average high school athlete,” Pennock said.
“He was so physical as a quarterback, that we finally had to calm him down and tell him to slide, and to go out of bounds,” Mark Hubbard said. “Coach Pennock, he was very adamant about, ‘You got to play the next play. You want to run over people.’
“He didn’t have that quarterback mentality, that finesse. He just didn’t.”
