#83 Ryan Hubbell

Class: RS Sophomore Ht/Wt: 6-5/226 Position: Tight End Hometown: Council Bluffs, Iowa

Louisville’s Take: Enrolled at Louisville in January... two-star junior college prospect by Rivals.com and Scout.com... played for Scott Strohmeier at Iowa Western Community College...

Thoughts: Ryan comes in as a JUCO transfer who showed some skills last year at Iowa Western Community College. Pulling in 16 catches for 250 yards as well as three touchdowns Ryan positioned himself as being ranked the #3 JUCO tight end in the country. While the offensive stas are nice, the guy can block as well. I think the running backs will fall in love with Ryan once they see him continuously seal off the end better than a damn Ziplock bag. Being pursued by Kansas State, Northern Illinois and FIU last year, Hubbell found his home with the Cards. Expect him to saddle up next to Nate Nord and battle for some PT this year.
