Hudson’s wrestling journey started practically from birth, as he’s the son of a high school wrestling coach. He made his first trip to the state wrestling tournament in Las Vegas when he was just three months old. By the time he was three, he was already attending practices with his cousin, Harleigh Workman, and he hasn’t slowed down since. Today, Hudson wrestles for the Fallon Outlaws, coached by his uncle, Wade Workman.
 
In his first year of competition, Hudson faced some tough early struggles, finishing 0–10 at the state tournament. However, he came back strong the following year, recording over 50 wins and finishing as the state runner-up.In his third season, Hudson showed significant progress. He placed third at the Beehive Brawl in Utah and also secured third at the Rocky Mountain Nationals Rumble in Reno. He made his debut at the Western Regional Championships, wrestling well before narrowly missing out in the blood rounds.
 
Hudson kept the momentum going into his fourth year. He finished second at the Beehive Brawl, took second at an RMN tournament in Oregon, and placed third at the Rumble in Reno. He also won most of his local tournaments. This impressive run culminated in a first-place finish at the Northern Regional Championships and a second-place finish at the state tournament.This spring, Hudson achieved a significant milestone by earning a Triple Crown at the SAWA Club Championships. He also placed fourth at the Western Regional Championships, where he avenged an earlier finals loss at the Beehive Brawl.
 
Today, Hudson is still practicing hard and looking forward to the RMN Nationals in Las Vegas at the end of June. He loves going to practice every day to train with his teammates, who have become his best friends. He also enjoys traveling to tournaments with his family and friends.Wrestling is truly a family tradition for Hudson. Both his mom and dad wrestled, and his grandfather, Neal, and uncle, Wade, were state champions from Fallon who went on to compete in college.
 
In between wrestling practices and tournaments, Hudson stays active by playing soccer, baseball, and flag football. In his free time, he loves being outdoors—fishing, hunting, camping, and farming. He attends Oasis Academy College Prep and enjoys school as well.
