A hairy situation for Hudson
By Pete Conrad
How does the song go?
“Gimme a head with hair. Long, beautiful hair.” Something like that. Miami University senior linebacker Joey Hudson has caught the fever. Hair fever. Locks fever.
Dreadlocks, to be precise.
That was not his original intention. At first, he apparently wanted the look of straight, shining locks flowing in the breeze.
“I wanted long locks like Jordan Gafford, my roommate,” Hudson said, “but since mid-spring I realized my hair wasn’t as nice as Jordan’s. So I’ve been growing it out (in dreadlocks). It gets pretty frizzy.”
A friend of Hudson, Brittany Griffis, a hair stylist in Dayton, did the honors. “It took about two and a half hours,” Hudson said.
“It takes a lot more upkeep that I expected,” he added. “I have to keep waxing them. You have to sit there and just twist them, get the hair to knot up.”
Hudson acknowledges that his locks have a way to go. They don’t compare to those, for instance, of teammate Jamel Rogers.
“He’s got some great hair,” Hudson said of Rogers, a wide receiver, adding that he’s also impressed with that of defensive back Peris Edwards.
“I encouraged him to get his dreads,” Rogers said. “I think most of the players like it. I’ve had mine going on four years.”
Another player with dreadlocks, cornerback Brandon Stephens, said Hudson’s are “looking pretty good. Joe likes to be different.”
“I like ‘em,” quarterback Daniel Raudabaugh said of Hudson’s new look. “Joey does Joey. He’s not worried so much about what anyone else thinks. When Joey does something, nobody asks him about it. We respect him.”
“My hair’s a little short for that,” guard Dave DiFranco said with a laugh. “I like it, though.”
That opinion isn’t quite unanimous.
“The coaches’ responses are kind of interesting,” Hudson said. “Some like it. Some walk right by me, kinda smirking. Coach (Shane) Montgomery was probably my biggest non-fan. He was nice enough to allow me to keep them.”
And then there is punter Jake Richardson, who has relatively short hair, and who said he has been inspired by Hudson’s locks.
“It’s inspired me not to make that change,” he said.
