Hudson is coming off of a sophomore season where he logged 39 receptions for 754 yards and six touchdowns during his breakout campaign.

On the hardwood, he was named the Ruston Daily Leader MVP and Louisiana District 2-5A MVP as a sophomore after averaging 21 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks per game.

Now, Hudson's recruitment process is blossoming this offseason with programs recruiting him as a dual-sport athlete.
