The first member of Charleston’s 2022 state championship football team has signed a national letter of intent to play college football.
Tigers’ defensive lineman Roy Hudson signed his intent to play next fall at Ouachita Baptist University last week in a special signing ceremony held at Charleston High School. Hudson’s coach, Ricky May, told the audience in attendance just how special Hudson is and what he meant to the Tigers football program.
Coach May commented, “People say they don’t have favorites, but I beg to differ. Everyone wants what Roy brings. It starts with his leadership on and off the field. He is everything you dream of as a coach, in a player. Hard worker on and off the field, never have to worry about him doing what he is supposed to do. He’s always early, never misses anything, except in the summer when he is on a mission trip blessing others. Great influence for his teammates and younger players because he cares and pours his heart into everything. There is no doubt in my mind that Ouachita is going to be a better place because Roy will be there. Let’s goooo!”
Hudson will be on a partial athletic scholarship that will supplement the financial awards that he will be given due to his outstanding academic work in the classroom. Hudson carries a 4.00 grade point average and has scored 32 on the ACT exam. He is an outstanding student as well as athlete, and he should be a great fit at Ouachita.
On behalf of everyone at RNN Sports, we congratulate Roy on a great high school career and a great future ahead at Ouachita Baptist University!
