Lester Hudson is an American basketball player who is a junior guard on the Tennessee Martin Skyhawks of the Ohio Valley Conference. In the 2007–08 season, Hudson recorded the only quadruple double in NCAA history. [cite news |author=Eric Prisbell |title=A Drive From Obscurity |url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/14/AR2007121401809_pf.html |work=The Washington Post |date=December 15 2007 |accessdate=2008-05-25 |pages=E01] At the conclusion of the season, he declared himself for the 2008 NBA Draft, but later withdrew.

Hudson put together one of the best all-around seasons in Ohio Valley Conference history in 2007-08 and helped UT Martin make a six-game improvement in its league record from the previous year. The Skyhawks were picked last (11th) in a preseason poll but finished fourth and qualified for the OVC Tournament.

Hudson made school, Conference and NCAA history during the season, including becoming the first Division I men's player to record a quadruple-double (25 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals vs. Central Baptist College) in a college game. [1]

He also had a triple-double, eight additional double-doubles and cracked the 30-point plateau 11 times during his rookie season in the league. He finished the season ranked fifth nationally in points per game (25.7); fourth in steals (2.8) and tenth in 3-pointers made per game (3.8). He also ranked among the top 90 nationally in each rebounding (79th, 7.8/game), assists (88th, 4.5/game), 3-point percentage (72nd, 38.8%) and free throw percentage (67th, 83.4%).

A native of Memphis, Tenn. who transferred from Southwest Tennessee Community College, Hudson is the first UT Martin player to receive the OVC Player of the Year award. He was also named to the OVC All-Newcomer squad, became just the fourth Skyhawk ever named to the All-OVC first-team and was named UT Martin's Bob Carroll Male Athlete of the Year.

With All-American honors from the Associated Press and collegeinsider.com, Hudson became the first player in UT Martin history to claim the honors since the school started playing in Division I.
