Hubbard was expected to be a part of West Virginia's running back rotation at the beginning of the season, especially with SMU transfer Jaylan Knighton being deemed ineligible. However, he suffered a few setbacks during fall camp, which ultimately knocked him down the depth chart, and so much so that he wasn't even a part of the team's travel roster early on in the season.

He had a breakout performance of sorts in the loss to Utah, rushing for 61 yards on 10 carries, scoring one of the team's two touchdowns on the day. His best performances came in early November when he rushed for 108 yards and a score in the upset win over No. 22 Houston and then followed that up with 64 yards rushing and 94 yards receiving in the win over Colorado. Hubbard finished the 2025 season with 335 yards and four touchdowns on 96 carries.

He will have three years of eligibility remaining.
