AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas offensive lineman Patrick Hudson is retiring from football, coach Tom Herman said on Monday.
Hudson, who signed with the Longhorns in 2016, was hospitalized in September after a heat illness suffered during a practice and did not play for the remainder of the 2018 season.
"He's going to remain part of our program," Herman said Monday, following the Longhorns' first spring practice of 2019, noting that Hudson will move into a player development role within the program and will also assist team trainers during practices.
Hudson was an Under Armour All-American coming out of Silsbee (Texas) High and was the No.
