Daymeion Dante Hughes (born August 21, 1985) is a former American football cornerback who played five seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the University of California, Berkeley, and received consensus All-American honors. The Indianapolis Colts selected him in the third round of the 2007 NFL Draft, and he also played for the NFL's San Diego Chargers.
Hughes was born in Los Angeles, California. Tested for Highly Gifted at age 8. Attended Harbor Math/Science Highly Gifted Magnet Elementary which is located in San Pedro, California. Went on to attend Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, and was a letterman in football, basketball, tennis, and track. In football, he was an all-league and an all-city honoree as a junior. As a senior, he was named the Coliseum League's co-Player of the Year. In basketball, he was a two-year starter. On Rivals.com's list of Top 100 California Players, Hughes came in at No. 41 and was subsequently recruited by multiple Pac-10 and Big Ten programs, but eventually landed at Cal.
Hughes enrolled in the University of California, where he played for California Golden Bears football team from 2003 to 2006. He was recognized as the Lott Trophy winner in 2006 and a consensus first-team All-American while leading the nation in interceptions with eight. He was prolific in breaking up passes and making pinpoint tackles to stop the passer's progress in all four years. Due to his ability to completely shut down one side of the field, he has been given the label of a "shutdown corner," a title only given to the best of defensive backs.
