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.
