Is Hudson the last player we are waiting on to announce whether they are going pro or not?

Here is an alternative, slightly less clunky title that reads a little better: "Is Hudson The Last Player We Are Waiting On To Announce?"  

To answer your question...no idea...

I think he comes back,  something seemed off with him this year like he was pressing to hard he had a great 2017...I think he gets drafted after a rebound season end of the 2nd begginging of the 3rd.  There are comparable players and positions in the league I’m thinking less Cato June and more Deonne Buchanan or Mark Barron

All of those players that you mentioned started off in the backfield and moved closer to the line of scrimmage in more traditional linebacker roles once they got to the league. 

Hudson already plays in the box so I’m looking at players that were able to make that transition in previous years. Larry Foote and Ian Gold were relatively undersized for their respective positions, especially for the era that they played, but they ended up in a similar or the same pro position that they played in college. 

Matt Milano played viper for Don Brown at BC and is a 4-3 linebacker currently for the bills. I think he’s the best comparison right now for projecting Khaleke to the league. I don’t know what Hudson’s skill set would allow him to do in today’s NFL. I’m just not that in tune with what those positions call for but considering Milano and another undersized 4-3 LB in Lavonte David are assets to nfl teams, if he can play they’ll find a role for him.

Doesn't sound like he's likely to go (I think Brian said that Long was likely the last one likely to go). That said, I wouldn't call it a need to "bounce back". Hudson was fine last year, just used in a very different way than the prior year. He'll have solid film. In the end, it's a question of how he tests out.

I’m interested in how you believe he was used differently? I ask in the sake of a good football conversation I thought his use in 2017 really was to his strengths letting play on the other side of the line of scrimmage...this year I thought he overran the same plays that he made the year before but was ultimately asked to do much of the same schematically.

Hudson was playing his heart out and was trying to motivate his team on sideline. Sure looked like a guy who was trying to get guys going for next year. In other words, coming back.

I want him back from a leadership standpoint.  He was the guy all fired up on the sideline after the d gave up a td, then went out and blocked the punt next series. Leaders lead.

Not to mention he ran down Franks from half way across the field on the transcontinental. The announcers tried to play if off like "Michigan was ready for it." In reality, Franks was about to go on a navarre-like rumble if not for Hudson splitting two blockers and running him down. Amazing play.
