In Hudson’s first game with Penn State, the receiver brought in six receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown. Fans believed he would be the wide receiver one for the Nittany Lions moving forward, but he struggled to get anywhere near those numbers again.
The Duarte, California, native finished the season with 23 receptions for 288 yards and two touchdowns. Hudson had three games without a reception and five with just one.
During his time with USC, Hudson played in 40 games, putting up 807 yards and eight touchdowns on 72 receptions. He had one rushing attempt in his final season with the Trojans, but did not pick up any yards.
Hudson played in the Pinstripe Bowl, but went down with an undisclosed injury in the first quarter. He did not return.
Hudson is Penn State’s first wide receiver to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft.
