Kobe Hudson was a late addition to the Reese’s Senior Bowl roster, but he’s made the most out of every opportunity as he looks to make a name for himself at the next level.
“There’s a chip on my shoulder to just go out there and keep dominating, and soon the world will know,” said Hudson at the 2025 NFL Combine podium, feeling overlooked.
The Carolina Panthers have signed the former UCF Knights wide receiver to a PFA deal. Hudson will join a stacked room with No. 8 pick Tetairoa McMillan, Mitchell Evans, and Jimmy Horn Jr. as new passing options for Bryce Young.

The former Auburn Tigers wide receiver decided to enter the transfer portal and travel with Gus Malzahn, who recruited him to The Plains to deliver SEC-sized talent in Orlando in 2022.
With a seemingly subpar 40-yard dash time at 4.58 seconds at the Combine, he looked to be graded as a Day 3 prospect on most boards. Reports show he had informal ZOOM meetings with the Denver Broncos, who selected his former teammate, RJ Harvey, in the second round on Friday evening.
Hudson was the premier receiving option for the carousel of quarterbacks the Knights fielded in an underwhelming 4-8 campaign in 2024. He caught four touchdowns for 770 yards but always remained a homerun threat.
His big playmaking ability was highlighted early last season when the Knights were down 21 points early in the third quarter against the TCU Horned Frogs. Hudson connected with quarterback KJ Jefferson to secure the game-winning touchdown and finished the night with six receptions for 145 yards and two touchdowns.

Oh my goodness what a catch. Former Troup Tiger Kobe Hudson with the gutsy touchdown catch while he's being hit, and the extra point gives Central Florida a 35-34 lead over TCU. Kobe finishes the night with six catches for 145 yards with two touchdowns. What a performance. pic.twitter.com/vkDJq3NGFy
