Power Forward

There aren't many great physical comparisons to Ahmad Hudson among the NFL ranks, but there is one on LSU's current roster in standout tight end Trey'Dez Green. Both Hudson and Green are tall, long tight ends with a huge catch radius who present big mismatches in contested catch situations. Green showed more speed at the same stage in their careers, while Hudson is more productive and filled out heading into the senior season of high school football. 

Jumbo tight end with a big frame and massive catch radius. Measured in at around 6-foot-6, 245 pounds prior to his senior season. Has elite length with 34.75-inch arms along with 10.75-inch hands. A jumpball maven who presents a big mismatch in contested catch situations. Has a huge catch radius with his stature, length, leaping ability and coordination. Posts up on defenders and comes down with contested catches at a high rate. Projects as a red zone and goal line target. Capable of hanging in the air and contorting his body to come down with acrobatic grabs. Fluid athlete with little to no rigidity in his movements. Uses his size to fight through contact to pick up yards after the catch. A load for defensive backs to bring down. Spends most of his time split out wide, but does play as an attached tight end at times. Doubles as a basketball star with high-major offers on the hardwood, averaging over 20 points per game as a junior. Will need to improve his top-end speed and quickness within his routes to help in creating separation. More of a 4.8 to 4.9 athlete at this stage. Projects as an in-line tight end long-term due to his frame, but will need to continue progressing as a blocker. Should present a big contested catch target early on his career with the upside of growing into a high volume pass-catcher with continued improvement with his separation abilities. One of the more gifted tight ends in the 2027 cycle.
