Elon's Profile for Terrell Hudgins

Hudgins originally signed with East Carolina out of Rocky Mount High School, where he played quarterback for Coach B.W. Holt and was named North Carolina's athlete of the year by the The Associated Press. When a move to LB was announced Hudgins decided to transfer. It seems he did the right thing.

Terrell Hudgins was named to the 2009 AFCA Football Championship Subdivision Coaches’ All-America Team as selected by the American Football Coaches Association. Hudgins was the lone Southern Conference selection on offense and was a finalist for the 2009 Walter Payton Award which is handed out to the top offensive FCS player in the country. The nation’s leading receiver, Hudgins caught an FCS-record 123 passes for a Southern Conference-record 1,633 yards and 16 touchdowns this season to help lead the Phoenix to its first-ever FCS playoff berth. Hudgins, a first-team All-SoCon selection, earned two league player of the month nods during his senior campaign. During the course of the season Hudgins became the NCAA Division I all-time leader in receiving yards (5,250) and receptions (395). He concluded his stellar career by holding 10 NCAA records.

With a literal laundry list of records: 207 - combined receptions in one season (FCS record with former teammate Michael Mayers in 2007) - 395 - career receptions (all NCAA Division I record) - 123 - receptions in a season (done in 2009; FCS record) - 8.8 - career receptions per game (FCS record) - 5,250 - career receiving yards (all NCAA Division I record) - 116.7 - career average yards gained receiving per game (FCS record) - 28 - career games gaining 100 or more yards receiving (all NCAA Division I record) - 1.2 - career touchdown passes caught per game (ties FCS record) - 34 - career games with a touchdown catch (FCS record) - 4 - career 1,000-yard receiving seasons (all NCAA Division I record)...SoCon Records: 10 - games in a season with 100 or more receiving yards (done in 2009) - 5 - consecutive games with 100 or more receiving yards (done once in 2006 and twice in 2009) - 2,538 - combined receiving yards in a season with former teammate Michael Mayers in 2007) - 3 - career 200 or more receiving yard games (tied) - 52 - career receiving touchdowns - 1,633 - receiving yards in a season (done in 2009)

Team Records: 16 receptions in a game vs. Liberty and at Furman in 2007; at Furman in 2009. 4 Touchdown receptions in a game vs. Liberty in 2007 and 18 touchdown receptions in a season.

As a junior last season, he hauled in 86 receptions for 1,116 yards and 10 TDs on his way to receiving 1st Team All-Southern Conference accolades from the league's coaches for the 2nd consecutive season. He was chosen as a 2nd Team All-SoCon honoree as a redshirt freshman by the conference coaches in 2006. Hudgins became the Elon and SoCon all-time career leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdown receptions in 2008 with this year left.

Power, size, ball skills, plays fast, a durable, consistent, sure-handed receiver who can make all the catches: the routine as well as circus-style football catches, including one at Chattanooga that made ESPN's SportsCenter where he pinned a pass thrown short to the back of a defender and secured it with one hand. He scored a touchdown on the play.

Speed, he is likely to run in the mid 4.6 range at the combine/pro day. But he might run slower and a move to H-back simply because he doesn’t have the height of a Ramses Barden type to stay at WR in the NFL. He caould also refine his cutting and accelerating out of his breaks.

If he runs 4.54 he goes to the 4th, if he runs 4.75 he drops to the 6th, my guess is in the middle.
