LOUISIANA La. - Ronald Hudson has been added to the University of Louisiana's football staff and will coach the Ragin' Cajun offensive line, head coach Rickey Bustle announced Monday.
Hudson, who previously served as offensive line coach at Texas A&M-Kingsville, replaces Mike Gibson, a member of Bustle's staff for the past three years.
While at TAMU-Kingsville, Hudson coached three all-conference players including Division II All-American Roy Stroud. TAMU-Kingsville finished the 2004 season with a 9-2 record and won its 26th Lone Star Conference title before losing in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.
"I'm excited to have Ronald join our staff," Bustle said. "He'll bring a lot of energy to our coaches and to our offensive line. Hiring a high-quality person is a priority for our program, and I believe that we have succeeded in doing just that. He brings a multitude of experiences from a diverse background."
Prior to joining the Javelinas in May 2004, Hudson served on the football coaching staff at Texas-El Paso. He was the tight ends coach for two seasons beginning in 2001. Hudson was then promoted to defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator in 2003.
"I'm very fortunate to join the Louisiana football program," Hudson stated. "The staff here has put the program on a winning track. My hope is to continue that progress and be a part of building a Sun Belt champion."
