QB Jyron Hughley Will Use 2026 to Learn, Grow in System | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2026 WVU Football Roster.

Eight months after committing, Florida quarterback Jyron Hughley inked his national letter of intent with the WVU football program to cement his move to West Virginia.

Listed at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, Hughley is a product of Cardinals Newman High School in West Palm Beach, Fla.

A dual-threat athlete, Hughley was one of the first quarterbacks Rich Rodriguez’s staff reached out to when they started recruiting.

Hughley was considered a three-star player out of high school by most national recruiting outlets. He picked WVU over offers from Boston College, Florida State, Indiana, Miami (FL), Minnesota, North Carolina State, Penn State, Pitt, Syracuse, UCF, Virginia Tech among others.
