Mickey Plyler on Huggins: Huggins is an interesting prospect. He is a great kid with a magnetic personality. I can see him growing into a leader in this program. He is athletic enough to play defensive end but I think he will grow into a great defensive tackle. His upside really projects if he makes the move inside. It's easy to see how most think this is another top 100 player.

Reminds Plyler of: Ray Brown

He attended the Dabo Swinney football camp in June 2012, June 2013 and in June 2014. He is regarded as one of the top SC prospects in the 2015 class and could grow into a potential star at the next level. He prefers to play defensive end in college.
