There’s no telling whether Maye or Criswell, whoever ends up with the starting job, will be good enough to leave for the NFL as a two-year starter after their junior year, but that’s what the staff has to assume could happen, and that would leave Hudson, as a sophomore, with the keys to the offense after a full year and two offseasons to have learned to run it, just as Maye will have had a year from now (Criswell, of course, has the extra year thanks to last year’s frozen eligibility). He will be a freshman for Drake Maye and/or Jacolby Criswell’s junior years, just as Maye and Criswell will be freshmen (in eligibility terms) for Sam Howell’s junior year.
His high school coach at Hough High seems to believe in him, saying “He’ll be the sixth D1 quarterback that I’ve coached and, at this stage and time, he’s the best one.”įor UNC, Hudson seems like the primary plan for a future beyond the quarterbacks currently on UNC’s roster. That will be something to keep an eye on in the latter half of his high school career. He also has some work to do with his accuracy in his sophomore year, he completed 55% of his passes for 16 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, less than a 2:1 ratio. He doesn’t seem to be super mobile at this point in his development he only has 33 rushing yards and 1 touchdown through 2 years of high school ball. He seems able and willing to throw with anticipation there are several examples of him throwing to spots before his receivers either break their routes or stack their defenders (on nine routes). The frequency of deep balls in his offense should lend itself well to what we’ve seen Sam Howell run the past two years Phil Longo’s offense is always looking for a big play through the air. His highlight tape is filled with deep throws to either boundary, and his delivery looks easy and variable - he can throw with touch or on a rope depending on what the situation requires. On the field, the 6’3, 220-pound Hudson is a big-bodied passer with a big arm to match.
He has been on a lot of other schools’ campuses for camps this summer, but it seems like that’s been more about sharpening his skills and raising his profile than about genuine interest in the schools - he attended Tennessee, Florida State, and Clemson’s camps in the past couple months, but doesn’t seem to claim an offer from any of those schools, and it’s not like UNC is recruiting on a lower level than the former two. Even with offers from places like Auburn, Arkansas, and Michigan State, no other school has really been linked to Hudson because his interest in UNC has been so obvious since he was offered in the fall of 2019 (as a freshman!). Hudson’s been seen at UNC a lot over the past year, with Inside Carolina reporting at least 3 unofficial visits and a camp visit since the start of 2020.
