Tulane's Local Punter Poised for 2026 Breakout
Redshirt junior William Hudlow, a sturdy 5-11, 217-lb New Orleans native from Jesuit HS, brings elite leg strength (85 kick power in EA CFB 26 rating of 69) and high school pedigree—44-yard avg with 12 inside the 20 in 2022, topping Kohl’s camp at 4.5 stars. Yet to punt in college games through 2025 (one 34-yard effort noted), he's primed as Tulane's special teams weapon amid their AAC contention. Care because his raw power and hometown grit could flip field position battles; perfect fit for teams needing a reliable, intense punter with inside-20 upside—no injury red flags, just untapped potential.[2][3][4][6][9]
