Hudson transfers to Tiffin as a graduate student-athlete from Davenport University. He is a 5-10 combo guard from Wayland, Michigan. 

Hudson has made his mark on the Davenport record book over the course of his career. He is second in career free throw percentage (.830), sixth in 3-point field goal percentage (.392), 7th in 3-point field goals made (112), and 10th in assists (210). He has played sparingly over the last two seasons after redshirting in 2019-20 due to injury.

His high point came during his sophomore campaign in 2018-19. He started in all 31 games, and averaged 34 minutes a game while shooting 42.6% from the field and 40.2% from 3-point. He averaged 15.3 PPG and 5.9 RPG, dished out 4.9 APG, 1.9 SPG, and 1 block while earning First Team All GLIAC honors. He is a two-time GLIAC All-Academic Excellence selection who also had a career-high in points with 32 against the #7 ranked Ashland Eagles. He was named the GLIAC Player of the Week three times.

During his freshman season in 2017-18, he appeared in 15 games and started 10 of them, averaging 11.3 points per game. 

Hudson attended Wayland Union High School and averaged 15 points, five rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.5 steals as a junior. He helped lead the team to a 19-2 record during his junior season. He is a two-time All-State player who was also named BCAM First Team during his junior year.

"I chose Tiffin because of the family culture the coaches have set for the team and the confidence the coaches have in the players they recruit," said Hudsons. "The style of play that the coaches run feels like a nice fit for me as well."

"We are extremely lucky to have Avery joining our program," said TU Head Coach Tom Church. "Being able to add a  First Team ALL GLIAC player in Avery is going to help us make the next step.  His shot-making ability along with his high basketball IQ will help him flourish in our system. Avery is a tremendous student in the classroom and he's a leader on and off the floor and that's what is most important to us."
