The winner of the ACC's Jacobs Blocking Trophy at Louisville, now grinding for a roster spot as a versatile interior lineman for the Giants.
Bryan Hudson is a center who arrived in New York after stops in Detroit and New England, bringing with him a college resume that includes the ACC's top blocking honor. The Kentucky native's versatility across center and guard, plus long-snapping ability, has kept him in the league as an undrafted free agent fighting for playing time.
Path to the league
Hudson began his college career at Virginia Tech from 2019 to 2020, earning second-team freshman All-America recognition, before transferring to Louisville for his final three seasons. He went undrafted in 2024 and signed with the Detroit Lions.
Career highlights
At Louisville, Hudson started 32 of 36 games and earned second-team All-ACC honors in 2022. His 2023 season was his best: he won the ACC's Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the conference's top blocker and was named first-team All-ACC.
2025 season recap
Hudson was released by Detroit in final cuts in August 2024, then bounced through New England's practice squad before the Giants signed him that November. He signed a reserve/future contract with New York in January 2025, was waived and returned to the practice squad during the year, and was promoted to the active roster on December 27, 2025, finishing the season having appeared in one game.
