La Vergne all-state center Theryn Hudson signed a national letter-of-intent to play basketball at MTSU for the 2005-06 season.

Hudson, a 6-foot, 10-inch standout that led the Wolverines to the District 9-AAA tournament title and Region 5-AAA semifinals, chose MTSU over South Carolina and SMU.

MTSU coach Kermit Davis said he was excited to get a local player with Hudson's talent.

"We told Theryn, during the process of recruiting, wherever he had been we would have recruited him, being only 20 minutes away, he'll bring more interest from (La Vergne) fans and be able to bring more family to games."

After averaging five points and six rebounds as a junior, Hudson blossomed in his senior season. He scored 19.2 points per game, averaged 10 rebounds and 3.2 blocked shots. He scored a career-high 31 points in a Region 5-AAA quarterfinal win over Clarksville and recorded one of his four triple-doubles (points, rebounds and blocks) on the season.

"I'm glad it's all over with," said Hudson of the recruiting process. He had visited SMU last weekend.

Hudson was named to the Tennessee Sports Writers Association Class AAA All-State team and will play in the Tennessee Athletics Coaches Association East-West All-Star game in June at Franklin¹s Centennial High School. He was a first--team selection for both District 9-AAA and the Daily News Journal All-Area

squad. He was also named all-Region 5-AAA.

"Now, I can focus on playing basketball at MTSU," Hudson said.
