Mondon, who is coming off his junior season, where he had 42 solo tackles and three sacks, is expected to start for the Bulldogs this season. He played through a foot injury last year, and he is still rehabbing that as he missed spring practices due to offseason surgery.
Meanwhile, Hughley’s role is up in the air as he is set for his redshirt freshman season.
A four-star prospect coming out of high school, Hughley didn’t suit up as a true freshman last season, and he also received offseason surgery to repair a shoulder ailment.
