Jaylen Hudson brings veteran edge presence and reliable snap-to-snap steadiness to UMass
In the 2024 season, Jaylen Hudson gave UMass a dependable, physical defensive-line presence, finishing with 25 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and a pass breakup while playing in 10 games. The differentiator is the blend of experience and disruption: at 6-foot-3, 260 pounds, he was described as a “shot in the arm” for the Minutemen’s front and has shown edge speed for his frame. He looks like a fit for teams that value mature, assignment-sound linemen who can hold up against the run and make timely plays without needing the spotlight.
