Early-impact SMU edge with quickness, toughness, and a proven sack résumé
Hudson Woods enters SMU as a 2026 freshman defensive end with a high-upside edge profile: he was a three-star prospect, ranked among the better edge rushers in his class, and posted 40 high-school sacks, including 13 sacks and 20 quarterback pressures as a junior. His calling card is an explosive first step and relentless motor, with enough flexibility to line up on either side and threaten the backfield. He looks like a fit for a team that values disruption, effort, and room to develop into a true pass-rush weapon.
