It was the first of what is certainly to be many guest appearances, but perhaps none that he ever gives in the future will have as strong an impact. 

On May 21st, Ahmad Hudson of Ruston High School blessed those in attendance at the Jonesboro-Hodge Middle School 8th-grade graduation with words of wisdom, motivation, and positivity, while reminding them to never give up, continue working hard, and always strive for success.

Hudson, the LSU commit and LHSAA Player of the Year in football, who led Ruston High School to a Division I state championship title game appearance in football and the Division I state basketball tournament, also gave the graduates autographed football cards as a memento.
