Even knowing a coaching change would mean the loss of players, Hudson Clement was one WVU fans wanted to keep. However, he’s now officially gone and signed on with another program.

On Thursday, Clement signed on with Illinois. On3 Sports was first to report the news. Clement ended up picking Illinois about to weeks after entering the transfer portal on Dec. 20.

Clement became an instant fan favorite throughout the last two seasons. He initially started off as a walk-on out of Martinsburg, W.Va. and then eventually earned a full scholarship after a breakout performance early in the 2023 season.

In 2024, Clement caught 51 balls for 741 yards and scored five touchdowns. He’s coming off a monster performance in West Virginia’s 42-37 Frisco Bowl loss as well.

Against Memphis, Clement made 11 receptions for 166 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns.
