Hudson entered the season as a rotational player, typically the first to sub into the game. While he made several solid plays early on, he wasn’t initially viewed as a standout. However, his growth and impact became undeniable as the year progressed. By the end of the season, he had earned the starting role over a senior outside linebacker and finished sixth on the team in total tackles while ranking fourth in solo tackles. His emergence played a role in a memorable campaign that culminated in a state championship victory.
In his sophomore year, Hudson Follis became a full-time starter at outside linebacker, but his role at receiver quickly became more complicated. He began the season as a starting wideout, only to lose the position when a senior transfer arrived and earned the spot. The setback fueled anger and frustration, yet it also became a turning point.

He was a standout force on both sides of the ball, making his presence felt on offense with elite production and on defense with high-level football IQ. Remarkably, he secured every 50/50 ball thrown his way, showcasing exceptional body control, timing, and physicality at the catch point.
