Hudson entered the NCAA transfer portal in March as a graduate transfer. In addition to UF and USF, he was also recruited by Houston, App State, Temple, UAB, Texas Tech and others.
Hudson’s college career began in 2018 when he redshirted at FIU. He logged 11 appearances in 2019, making his first career start against UMass.
For the past 3 seasons, Hudson has been a regular starter at right tackle. He was limited to playing 8 games in 2022 due to a reported injury.
Listed at 6-7, 320 pounds, Hudson is rated 3-stars, the No. 52 offensive tackle and No. 600 player overall in the transfer portal, according to 247Sports.
He made a turn for the better and will now be remembered for all time as one of the mighty warlords who returned The Gator Empire to its rightful place at the peak of college football!
I’m making $80 for every hr. to finish some internet providers from home. I absolutely never thought it would try and be reachable anyway. My comrade mate got 13,000 US dollars just in about a month effectively doing this best task and furthermore she persuaded me to profit. Look at additional subtleties going to

You are an idiot.
Come on SDS…Please delete these ‘net scammer guys.
Georgia just landed the #1 overall recruit on 247!!! Also the #1 QB, who held a perfect 1000 rating at times. Yes QB DYLAN RAIOLA just committed to the DAWGS. Like I said he would!!!!!!
PS. Wanna borrow a 5 star QB??? Sorry I forgot. We ain’t lending!!!! LOL
Negan
let me have some of what you are smoking
We’ve got the facilities, etc. Billy just can’t recruit. Anyone that thinks the good players we have verbals for in 2024 will sign after we go 4-8 this fall need to wake up.
Trying to understand where all this negativity about Napier comes from. The roster is substantially improved. The team is in the second year in his system after they finished 6-7 last year. What exactly projects regression?
No need for Dawg trolls on UF articles when you have GatorPhil. Lol.
Billy has the third highest average player rating in the nation for 2024, after Alabama and Georgia. How exactly is that not being able to recruit?
None have signed yet have they? Most programs prefer to evaluate how successful their recruiting is after NSD, but I understand, small victories, go for it…
Actually it’s worse than “no one has signed yet”. I think we should strip UGA of all those recruiting national championships in the early Kirby years since a great number of those prized recruits hit the portal after one or two years. Specially their highest ranked recruit QB
Cute answer.
Well, Leghumper and Phil, CBN had a top 10 player rating this past recruiting cycle, so it’s likely it will happen again. I hope you give the people in your life more grace than this.
Yes, he is recruiting at Muschampion levels for sure GFA…oh and a very merry Mother’s Day to you.
Thank you Leghumper! :)
I know, right? Imagine losing your Highest Ranked QB and having to roll with Stetson Bennett. I mean from your own mouth Cojones, you can’t win a championship sith SBIV. Guess you were right. But you can win 2 lol.
Love it how the UGA trolls attempt to re write history and in this case 2021 just makes sheet up. The only thing I may have said about SB4 is that he is a midget. Never said anything about him winning or not winning championships or anything about the draft
In 2022 you may not have said it, but in 2021 you said it numerous times, palley. The too short weak arm comments were usually followed by a Heisman guarantee comment as well, isn’t that right Newman!
Too short for sure and yes Jamie for Heisman, even thought that campaign was vey short lived.
BTW all your Jaime Newman for Heisman T shirts are junk, not collectibles. Sorry
TheRealcojones……
” I think we should strip UGA of all those recruiting national championships in the early Kirby years since a great number of those prized recruits hit the portal after one or two years. Specially their highest ranked recruit QB ”
STRIP AWAY MR JONES!!!! Kirby Always brings in more!!! We currently have 3 5 star QBs! One from Florida!!! LOL
We just landed another that most believe is the best in years. Better than Arch Manning! Held a perfect 1000 rating on 247! One of the few to ever do it!!!!!
#1 QB & #1 OVERALL RECRUIT DYLAN RAIOLA IS COMMITTED TO GEORGIA!!!
At least our entire team didn’t leave in the transfer portal like Florida!!!! Man Billy has thrown every decent player in the wind with the exception of a running back or two!!!! Before him Mullen was folding every poker hand. Throwing in his cards/players! And pulling nearly a brand new team out of the portal!!!!! LOL
PS. Ill give you this…..MERTZ!!!! CRYBABIES!!!!!! LOL

I look at the Gator program and it seems to me that Mullen’s lack of disciplined guys, which Napier inherited; are a lot like the Texas program that Charlie Strong inherited…a total lack of discipline from top to bottom. It takes a few years to establish that philosophy of accountability in the players & currently that’s the situation Billy Napier has found himself in. Hopefully Napier’s time in Gainesville works out better than Charlie Strong’s time in Austin did. The SEC East needs Florida to be a genuine top three(3) team in the East. Go Gators ! Keep on recruiting Billy.
Well said, AFan. That’s my hope as well. I think Bapier is doing it the right way. There’s no easy way to the top, but I have faith that this program will make us proud.
Go Gators!
You nailed it AFan! The difference between Napier’s situation at UF and Strong’s at Texas is the support Napier has from the Bull Gators. They understand the magnitude of the problem Mullen created in the locker room and the amount of time it’ll take to change that culture.
Texas is STILL working on it!
Thank you, Afan, I agree with what you said. I don’t understand how fans of this team can be such downers when it’s only his first year, he inherited a mess, yet he has made improvements anyways.
Excuza Afan but why does the SeC East need Florida to be a top 3 team?
To make sure UGA doesn’t get to waltz through regular seasons, like they got to do last year and will most likely get to do again this year.
Oh, I get that part, but why does it have to be U of F as a top 3 need, why can’t it be Ky or SCAR or MIZZ? Just asking for a friend… (:
” Ky or SCAR or MIZZ ”
If you don’t know why then you are denser than I thought possible
AFan…….I find it interesting the way the Alabama and Florida fans kiss up to one another!!! As for the east needing Florida to be a top 3! Why may I ask????
It wouldn’t be in order to eliminate Georgia would it??? Scared of real competition???? Seems to me you best concern yourselves with LSU!!!!!
LSU IS THE SEC WEST CHAMPION AND AUBURN IS COMING!!!! TENNESSEE BEAT YOU…..You’ll have those 3 teams as PERMANENT OPPONENTS in years to come!!!!!!
PS. Florida and Alabama need not worry about the east. GEORGIA AIN’T GOING ANYWHERE!!!!! LOL
GO READ THE RECRUITING NEW!!!!!

This chump
Phil is a rival fan posing as a gator .. he also said last week it would be a two win season . Just ignore this idiot
Why so harsh on Phil, one fact stands out, he has been a Gator fan for many years on this thread. Oh wait, two facts, Phil may speak his mind when expressing his views of Sunbelt Billy, but he doesn’t call other posters silly disparaging names. You could learn from that before calling someone you disagree with and don’t really know an idiot, gf8115. I know you are better than that. Mike White rocks…
He may be fan but he is not a very smart one. Just a daily grenade thrower. Never brings anything to the discussion.
As I said humper is not gator fan with what he says but most likely
A dawg fan posing to get comment. As I said he is nothing and idiot .. and you with the Mike white rocks comment is just a head scratcher..
2008… HAHAHAHA!
Great year!! I’m guessing it was great for you as well since you chose it for your name?
I’ve been a Gator fan longer than you’ve been alive boy.
Well
Your comments show your just a old rival fan
Posing as a gator fan Phil the chump !
So we get a big player with experience at a position of need and that means Napier can’t recruit?
Whatever.
Welcome home Mr Hudson you made the right choice
Houston, App State, Temple, UAB, Texas Tech…yep palley, CBN and hos army of 200 sure schooled those guys on how to recruit…I see a guaranteed future Outland Winner protecting Heisman Mertz, how about you?
Torrence didn’t turn out too bad for being ranked 1000+. Some guys may just need more time to develop. Either way, it’s good to have depth if he doesn’t end up becoming a starter.
Ocyrus was the best offensive lineman in the Sunbelt conference when he left for hogtown, this guy Hudson wasn’t even the best on FIU…big difference don’t you think?
Well considering CBN and his staff developed Torrence very well, with him being a lower ranked recruit in high school, then they have a good chance of getting good output from this young man who will be driven to do his best his last year in college.
Hmm where did Stetson b transfer from
To uga …
Seems like it was a good deal
For both sides
He is a barely a 3 star in portal ratings. Depth piece at best.
Grad transfer and probably going for his Masters at U of F, he certainly is no dummy…I’ll give him that.
Get your facts straight bro.
First, it’s an army of 300.
Second you can’t coach 6’7’’ 330.
Third Kyle Trask was offered by fewer and lower tiered teams.
Size, experience and now good coaching, who knows how good my man can be
“Second you can’t coach 6’7’’ 330…”

RealC didn’t say that that’s all they need, he’s right that his genetics can’t come from coaching. There are more advantages on the OL if you are bigger, for the most part, and that’s where coaching comes in. The first 3 players were offered by Power 5 teams so those teams must have liked how they were coached.
I consulted with Hillary who is still free. She gave the green light for the gators to accept the transfer. She is rarely wrong . The beast of Benghazi knows how tough Napiers conditioning program is!
So is Hunter and the Donald, we should celebrate. Susan McDougal support this message, and Susan appreciates it if you’ll pardon her for not being here.
BTW you never answered, why is it when archaeologists find human remains they always determine that they are either male or female and none of the other hundreds of genders Hillary and Bill invented and Let’s Go Brandon endorses?
That is a good question Leghumper!
Why thank you GFA.. I guess d-man does notThink so tho…but hey, Hitlerry is still free
LOL!!!!
Jailing political opponents is what com…munists do!!!!!!!!
PS. Right comrade Biden!!!!

Very accurate analogy, as I see it, AFan.
Napier inherited a toxic culture AND a roster that was full of holes. Unfortunately for most us Gator fans we have to listen to the constant carping of a few Gator fans that think the return to relevance should have been instantaneous.
True, it’s not often that there is an immediate turn around. In this world of instant gratification in many things people forget that some things still don’t work that way.
We made the CFPs and were 1 broken defensive play away from winning it all in Kirby’s 2nd year…isn’t this the place where all the G8r fans cry that Napier wasn’t gifted the talent Kirby was?
True, but in his first year coaching Georgia Kirby did lose to Vandy, FL, and GT, and had less wins than the year before with Richt. I’m sure you all had fans that were crying foul and complaining who ended up eating their words/writings the following season. Kind of similar to Georgia fans in 2021 when Bennett got the start and they were putting him and Kirby down. Now I’m not saying that CBN will have that kind of turn around, there are several different factors involved, but we just won’t know until the games are played.
Napier wasn’t gifted the talent Kirby was.
247 comp says CBN was gifted a higher ranked team by .30 per player avg than what Kirby started with. Of course, Kirby actually retained more of his initial talent than CBN in part because it was pre-TP era, Billy sure ran off some great talent
Please enlighten me humper on what talent Napier has ran off ? I am not saying your wrong but of the top of my head I can not think of one transfer form
Florida that has made a significant impact at p5 school .
27 transfers in the past year, gotta give em time. Let’s discuss this after next season to see which ones made an impact, shall we? My money is on Chief Borders, Tarquin and Henderson…possible Braun after Pittman works his magic…
Fair Enough humper .. but Just
To bring up a point the best players for Florida seem to be one’s Napier brought in via Recruting or the transfer portal . All the ones that left
We’re from
The Mullen regime . I know a few sec schools
Took a few of them ( lsu, Arkansas) ,
So we will
Wait and see how things play out .
I was just kidding, but in fact Kirby did inherit considerably more talent than Billy.
As for the transfer portal, Kirby didn’t have to deal with the portal or NIL in his first few years.
But of course, Hump knows that. He’s more interested in clever debate and word play than practical realities.
Nah, you weren’t kidding, you’ve said it numerous times. Yet the facts on 247 point out otherwise, Napier’s per player average ranking was higher when he took over the U of F than Kirby’s was when he took over the U of G…you know, that same metric y’all use to sell how CBN is top10 and top3 killing it in recruiting the last cycle and the upcoming one.
Oh, and to your other slight about clever word playing, indeed Nash, after all it was I in my initial response to you that said “Of course, Kirby actually retained more of his initial talent than CBN in part because it was pre-TP era”…who’s playing clever now?
Actually, I was kidding by quoting the last sentence of your comment.
There is, of course, an apples and oranges difference between the average player rating of the entire roster Kirby inherited from Mark Richt and the average player rating of Billy’s current cycle recruiting class.
