Hudson Clement, a standout athlete from West Virginia, has decided to transfer to the University of Illinois alongside his brother, Murphy Clement. The decision was driven by a desire for a sense of belonging and a strong connection with the coaching staff, particularly head coach Bret Bielema. The Clement brothers are excited about the opportunity to play together and contribute to the Illini program.
Clement's decision to transfer from West Virginia to Illinois alongside his brother, defensive back Murphy Clement , offers that much – and plenty more.
"There's always a little bit of unknown, but I'm confident in my abilities, confident in who I am," Hudson Clement said. "I felt like it was the right choice for me. I talked with my family, talked with Murph and everyone and felt like it was the right choice for me at the time. I hope it works out, and I'm happy to be here and happy to get to work."
"When I came on my visit here, nothing felt forced," Hudson Clement said. "It felt like home. That's really what I wanted. I didn't want to go somewhere where it felt like they were trying to sell me something in a way. I wanted to go somewhere where it felt like I fit and it felt like home. That's what this program provided."
"That's my brother, but he's also my best friend, too," Hudson Clement said. "I love him to death. Having him up here, the first week up here you're a little nervous meeting all the new guys. But you've got your brother there with you, so it makes it a little easier."
