Maye may be known as one of the best UNC Tar Heels quarterbacks of all time — including holding the record for the most passing yards in a single season at the school — but Hudson built a legacy there as well.
She graduated from UNC in May 2025 with a degree in business administration, per her LinkedIn. Outside of academics, Hudson was a member of the Kappa Delta sorority.

The quarterback made their relationship Instagram official in 2020 with a cuddly New Year’s post. “Bringing in ‘20 with a 10,” Maye wrote alongside a photo of the couple.
Her brother Tad was teammates with Maye
Football has long been a part of Hudson’s life as her father played football for Wofford College and her younger brother, Tad, played for the UNC Tar Heels. Tad ended up being teammates with Maye, serving as one of his backup quarterbacks during the 2023 season.
In 2024, Tad left UNC to play at Coastal Carolina University.
