Jadyn Hudson brings rangy, high-upside ball skills to UCLA’s secondary
Hudson is a 6-2, 195-pound freshman DB for UCLA who arrived as a four-star recruit in some services and a top-100-ish style prospect in California, built on length, closing speed, and playmaking instincts. In his high school career, he piled up 53 tackles and 6 interceptions in 2023-24, then followed with 34 tackles and 7 interceptions in 2024-25, including a pair of pick-sixes earlier in his prep run. The big draw: he looks like a coverage specialist with real range, but he’s still a young, developmental defensive back who fits best on a team that can coach up his technique while letting his ball-hawking shine.
