Bio

A two-time All-America (1982-1983), Gordon Hudson set the NCAA records for most passes caught per game by a tight end (5.4), most career yard per game by a tight end (75.3) and most yards in a game by a tight end (259 vs. Utah). As a sophomore, Hudson started at tight end and received All-WAC second-team Honors as well as honorable mention All-America. He tied the NCAA record for receptions by a tight end in a season with 67. His junior season, the tight end was the only unanimous All-WAC selection, also earning consensus All-America status. As a senior, he teamed with Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young to haul in an NCAA record 44 catches and six touchdowns in an injury-shortened season. And for the second straight year, Hudson earned All-WAC First Team and unanimous All-America honors. Upon graduation he played two seasons in the USFL with the LA Express and one season in the NFL for the Seattle Seahawks.
