Sooooo....remember Hudson Clement @ WVU?

[demlion]

He just finished his RS Soph. season. Leading receiver for a so-so team. Led the team on the season with 51 receptions for 741 yds and 5 tds. They finally targeted him in their bowl game and he had 11 receptions for 177 yds and 2 TDs.

He has now entered the portal.
Stay tuned.

I watched a little of their bowl game. He caught everything in sight.

Anyone know where he's from and his level of interest in PSU prior to committing to WVU? Thanks.

He’s from small town WV. I believe he was their receiver of the year as a senior, but had to walk on at WVU.

He was a no-star walkon from West Virginia that Demlion identified as an excellent player in high school. He took high criticism from the recruiting experts on this board but was proven correct when Clement turned out to be one of WVU’s best players.

He is from Martinsburg. He scored EIGHT TDs in the AAAA State Championship game. No one was interested, so he walked on at WVU. I have heard Texas A&M is interested, among others.

He averaged less than 4 catches for 50ish yards a game before their scrimmage against Memphis playing in a weak Big XII....yeah he's great. And most of that came against Kansas

No kidding. The coach who so seldom targeted him is now out of work. Cannot catch passes that are not thrown to you.

That coach was also dumb enough to play Greene so I'm not disagreeing with you there but to suggest the bowl game against Memphis means much is illogical. I like Hudson. He'd be a nice depth addition to most teams but he's not a #1 or #2. What he's accomplished already means he was undervalued coming out of HS but you're overselling him to make up for the lack of respect.

Will be interesting to see where he goes and how much he plays. Playing for RichRod was obviously not a good option.

We shall see. By all means, keep lowballing his talent and skill. When he plays with a qb who can deliver, he will catch the ball and change outcomes for his team.

The kid’s a player. Yes he played high school ball in WV, but Martinsburg is a fantastic football program.

You're saying he's a #1 on a contender? He's a top-tier NFL type player
Or--yeah, if he goes to Arizona then Fifita needs someone to replace Tetairoa so by default maybe he's a #1 on a team that is far from great?

Sounds like Hardy for PSU. Great career.

OT What happened to Demlion? I have not seen anything here from him.

One of the most ridiculous notions people have on this topic is that, well, if he's not on the recruiting rankings, and no one else has offered him, he does not exist as a player with any shot. I sure HOPE that PSU is not just paying a guy to read the recruiting rankings.

Pretty sure there is a LOT of film from Hudson's HS career that showed him making a BUNCH of acrobatic/difficult catches while closely defended.

If the recruiting rankings were all that mattered, no Div II players would be in the NFL. No Central Michigan players or other "directional school" players would ever get a sniff. AND, no 5-stars (like Julian Fleming, who was the ESPN-labelled "best receiver in PA," would bounce around and not produce. It is an ART.

Martinsburg is 2 hours, 30 minutes from State College. This whole kerfuffle started when I asked if Hud was on our radar. It is beyond ironic that some of the same folks who believe recruiting rankings are the only authority also bitch about our WR room.

Are we talking to him? I think he’d be a great addition for Allar next year.

No you didn’t. 🤪

Not that I know of, but I know very little about the deets. I hope at least he is on the radar.

Lol

TIFWIW,

Poster on 247board heard from his WVU buddy that Clement was coming our way.

Until I see an offer, a visit, I'm definitely grain of salting this, but it's discussion nonetheless.

Seems odd as playing time would be far from guaranteed for him
