TJ Hudson brings compact, physical safety play to Southern Utah
TJ Hudson is a junior safety for Southern Utah in the 2026 season, listed at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, and he profiles as a smaller, scrappy defender who has to win with instincts, range, and toughness rather than pure size. His fit is the kind that usually travels: active in run support, quick to trigger, and versatile enough to help in the back end. The key question is whether his frame and role usage let his ball production catch up to his effort, but he looks like a competitive piece for a defense that values reliability and downhill intent.
