Christian Hudson is a big-bodied true freshman DT with upside, but still early in the climb
Christian Hudson entered Colorado as a 2025 three-star defensive lineman and is listed at 6-foot-1, 300 pounds, bringing compact size and point-of-attack strength to the Buffaloes’ interior line.[2][5] In the 2025 season, Colorado’s roster and national player pages list him as an active freshman, but his statistical footprint is still minimal, so the real story is projection: he was recruited as a versatile, disruptive lineman who flashed tackle-for-loss and sack production in high school and fits a role where leverage, toughness, and early-down run defense matter most.[1][3][4]
