proved to be one of the more athletic linebackers at the event, thriving in space during 7-on-7 competition. He showed quick reaction time, breaking on routes and making plays on the ball. Hudson’s lateral speed allowed him to match up well against running backs and tight ends in coverage. He consistently put himself in position to disrupt passing lanes and contest catches. His energy and playmaking ability made him a noticeable presence all weekend.

‘s sophomore tape, this posted on December 13th, 2024.
90 tackles to his name, this out of a sophomore at Roman. A good blend of PBUs and TFLs logged/registered on film. First rep on tape shows off Hudson’s playmaking ability, proving he can drop in coverage, read the eyes of a QB and intercept errant passes. Hudson isn’t going to get looks from potential collegiate suitors based on his coverage skills, of course. That’s icing on the cake, the cake being Hudson’s ability to diagnose runs, where they are intended, as well as his ability to read and react to the flow of traffic. Hudson is often the first backer taking the brunt of the flow, yet he does a great job taking blockers head-on. No shying away, not many false steps, not much hesitation if he sees H-backs, FBs, or pulling OL headed his way. Hudson has the toughness blended with the awareness necessary to blow up off-tackle run sets in a flash. Hudson’s build makes him a tough player to have come off the field. Athleticism is his calling card. Roman likes to deploy 4-2-5 looks, as well as many variations to that base look thanks to the number of fantastic DB types they have on roster. Hudson coupled with athletic DBs make this back-seven a formidable one.
Hudson would proceed to hit the 7th PRZ PA Winter Showcase, as well as the All-State Preps camp ran by 247 analyst and PRZ scout Ed O’Brien. Hudson would perform well at both camps, earning 3rd-Team All-Camp honors at the PRZ PA event, as well as LB MVP at All-State Preps. His stock is elevating, as evident by his new ranking.

is a good linebacker with excellent athletic ability at the Prep Redzone Showcase. For how well he performed he earned a 3rd team selection at linebacker. A well-deserved distinction. Competing as a 2027 member of the class, Hudson more than held his own against some legit linebackers. His ability to run and move is impressive. Hudson has a huge upside and should only improve going into next year.

is a good player who has excellent speed and athleticism. His ability to chase plays down all over the field is impressive. He is also an excellent tackler, especially in the open field. Hudson has a chance to stand out at the showcase in a big way. I am especially excited to see what he runs in the 40-yard dash.

I’m not exactly sold on Hudson being an early-offer candidate just yet, mainly because I want to know more about his testing numbers. Another year of great production would alleviate these questions too. Promising prospect nonetheless.

is a good linebacker for Roman Catholic. He has a great feel for the game. He reads and reacts to the play and then triggers downhill at a high level. His ability to do that on a constant basis is impressive. Then he makes tackles in the open field at a high level. He is a good tackler who does an excellent job of making tackles in the open field. Hudson is a good player for Roman Catholic and will be needed to help shut down the McDevitt rushing attack.
