Paul Hug

Paul Norman Hug (June 27, 1906 – September 5, 1949) was an American college football player and coach.

Early years Hug played under LeRoy Sprankle at Kingsport High with Bobby Dodd. Following high school, the only universities to offer scholarships to the two athletes were the University of Tennessee and Vanderbilt University. However, by that time, the two had already turned down Tennessee's offer, so the two decided to travel to Atlanta, where Dodd's brother was attending the Georgia School of Technology. He wore number 26 and weighed 172 pounds.

1929 Hug was selected All-Southern in 1929.

Coaching career Hugh was an assistant at Southwestern University—now known as Rhodes College—and a head coach at the University of Tennessee Junior College—now known as the University of Tennessee at Martin. At the latter institution, he is the namesake of Hug Drive.
