Former Wisconsin, USF safety Austin Hudson to give Oregon State a try

Austin Hudson has become the latest to hit the FBS trifecta.

In March of 2015, Hudson decided to leave his original college football home of Wisconsin, ultimately ending up at South Florida. Monday, the defensive back confirmed via Twitter that he has decided to leave USF and continue his collegiate playing career at Oregon State.

Scheduled to graduate in May from USF, Hudson would be eligible to play immediately at the Left Coast OSU in 2017.

I’m excited to announce that I will be transferring to @BeaverFootball to play ball for my old friends! #gobeavs

Rivals.com had Hudson rated as a two-star member of Wisconsin’s 2014 recruiting class. His head coach that first season? Gary Andersen, Oregon State’s current head coach.

As a true freshman in 2014, Hudson played in all 14 games for the Badgers. After sitting out the 2015 season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules, the safety played in 11 games for the Bulls in 2016.

Coming to Corvallis, Hudson will have two years of eligibility remaining.
