The Hilltopper football program announced Tuesday the hiring of 17-year coaching veteran Keynodo Hudson.
Hudson comes to WKU following two years on Lovie Smith's staff at Illinois. In 2020, the Fighting Illini tied for sixth in the Big Ten with seven interceptions in eight games.
In Hudson's first year at Illinois in 2019 he helped lead Illinois to six wins and an appearance in the Redbox Bowl against Cal, the program's first bowl berth in five years.
Prior to the Redbox Bowl the fighting Illini had one of the largest upsets in Big Ten history taking down No.
