Ben Hudson is a comeback linebacker with old-school toughness and a fresh-start edge
In the 2026 season, Ben Hudson has started his Hawai‘i chapter with a small but useful early impact — including 1 total tackle in the opener — after nearly three years away from football because of injury, which makes his return story the big differentiator here. A 6-foot-2, 225-pound senior from Miami, he brings transferable Power-5 experience from Stanford (six games across 2022-23) and looks like a physically mature, high-motivation fit if a team values grit, special-teams-ready toughness, and upside over polished volume stats.
