The Breakdown
Hudson is coming into his senior season as the top rated offensive guard in the country. A consensus preseason All-American, Hudson is also on the watch list for the Outland Trophy, which goes to the nations best blocker. If Hudson receives All-ACC honors in 2010, he’ll be the first offensive lineman in ACC history to receive All-ACC honors four straight season. Hudson has been very durable, until a sprained knee ended his streak of 31 straight starts during the 2009 season. As consistent as they come, Hudson did not give up a single sack or allow a single quarterback pressure during the 2009 season. The sky is the limit for Hudson during his senior season as he tries to solidify himself as not only a first round draft pick, but the first interior offensive lineman taken in the 2011 NFL Draft.
