You may have never heard of Elon wide receiver Terrell Hudgins, but Hudgins, a 6-foot-3, 235-pound junior from Rocky Mount, is worth hearing about.
He’s having another outstanding year, and in less than three full seasons has pretty much filled up the Southern Conference record book.
Going into Saturday’s showdown at Appalachian, Hudgins has 262 career receptions for 3,544 yards and 35 TDs, all Southern Conference records.
And he’s still getting better.
“He’s always had great hands, very good hand-eye coordination,” Phoenix coach Pete Lembo said this week. “He’s a big target, has some basketball-like skills and can go up and get the ball. He’s become a more complete football player, doing more things without the ball that you like.
“I think he’s tried to improve his change of direction and his cutting, which wasn’t one of his strengths. Getting off the ball, his releases, those kinds of things. And I think he’s doing a better job blocking as well.
“He’s just playing with more effort, practicing with more effort and consistency. And he’s beginning to become more of a leader in our program. I think he’s becoming respected for that work ethic and that effort, and not just because he has a lot of ability.”

I have had the privilege of seeing this kid play about four times. He is really something special and has those numbers despite being double teamed in nearly every game now. If he was faster, I would say he is a lock for the NFL. As it is he might be a great possession receiver in the mold of Ricky Proehl. I hope everyone gets to see him. It is a treat.
Terrell is a talented wide receiver with a lot of untapped potential. If he gets faster and improves his work ethic, he can be a 1st day pick.
HEY CUZ WE GOT OUR EYES ON YOU. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. GOD BLESS..YOUR FAMILY..NEW HAVEN CT
