Big-bodied Texas Tech NT with early-start pedigree and disruptive flashes
Chris Hudler’s value is the kind coaches love at nose tackle: size, interior toughness, and a track record of making plays when Texas Tech needed him early in his career. ESPN lists him as a defensive tackle from Mesquite, Texas, with 40 solo tackles, 5 sacks, and an interception in his college stat line, while Texas Tech’s roster bio notes he started as a freshman and posted 14 tackles with one tackle for loss in a season that included a fumble recovery against Texas. That profile points to a lineman who can hold the point, play with energy, and offer sneaky disruption inside[2][5][6].
