High school career
Judson played at Sandy Creek High School in Tyrone, Georgia where he was considered one of the fastest prospects in the nation for the class of 2004. He ran a 4.28 40 yard dash at three different camps in the summer of 2003. Judson earned all state honors as a senior after helping lead Sandy Creek to an undefeated regular season, the first in school history. He also was a standout in track where he earned All-American Status in the 60 meter dash with a time of 6.87 at The National Scholastic Indoor Championships in New York City. On signing day, Judson chose Florida A&M over offers from Duke, Memphis, Wake Forest and others. At the time, Florida A&M was scheduled to move into Division 1-A football, which played a factor in Judson's decision. Florida A&M would remain in Division 1-AA, which led to Judson transferring to the University of Illinois.
College career
As a senior at Illinois, Judson earned the "Key Contributor" award where he had 21 receptions for 401 yards and two touchdowns, including 5 receptions for 177 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener vs. Missouri. Judson ran a 4.32 40 yard dash at the Illinois pro day, where he was later invited to camp by the Detroit Lions, where he was eventually released.
