Troup QB Hudson dominates with 566 yards, six TDs

Kobe Hudson, a senior quarterback from Troup, passed for 326 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 240 yards and three touchdowns in his team’s 65-24 victory against Ridgeland. It’s not Hudson’s first outstanding performance. An AJC Super 11 selection, Hudson passed for 3,386 yards and 32 touchdowns and rushed for 1,410 yards and 18 touchdowns last season.

“Our offensive line is a lot better, so that allowed him to do more things Friday night,” Troup coach Tanner Glisson said. “Last year, he had to run around more and make plays on his own. Now he stays within the system. It’s his second year playing quarterback. Last year he was new to the position. He’s done a great job. He’s as good as I’ve had in 20 years of coaching. (Auburn coach) Gus Malzahn is getting a good one.”

Hudson committed to Auburn, where he projects as a wide receiver.
