Conor Hughes enters his 10th overall season at Army West Point and his seventh as the Head Football Strength and Conditioning Coach, a role he assumed in the spring of 2019 after serving two years as an assistant (2017–18). During the 2025 offseason, offensive lineman Paolo Gennarelli set a new bench press record by lifting 505 pounds, while defensive lineman Javon Smith broke the squat record with a lift of 635 pounds.

While only one offensive lineman weighed over 300 pounds in 2022, that number increased to 11 in 2023.
