Drew Dudzik was hired at James Madison University in February 2016 as an assistant coach working with the wide receivers. After his first season, he transitioned to his current role of outside receivers coach.
In 2017, Dudzik’s unit combined for 172 receptions for 2,311 yards and 15 touchdowns. He coached Terrence Alls to his second straight All-Conference season, as he was named to the All-CAA Third Team. Alls recorded 55 receptions for a team-high 710 yards and two touchdowns, marking the second straight season a JMU player surpassed 700 receiving yards.
Four of JMU’s outside receivers tallied more than 400 receiving yards. Riley Stapleton and David Eldridge each had 42 catches, combining for over 1,100 yards, and Ishmael Hyman reached more than 400 yards. Stapleton led the team with five receiving touchdowns, while Eldridge and Hyman both had four.
In 2017, JMU’s offense ranked third nationally in first downs (325), ninth in completion percentage (64.9%), 15th in scoring offense (34.4), 22nd in pass efficiency (142.46 rating) and 30th in total offense (419.0).
In his first season working with the receivers, he coached three players to all-conference status, with one earning All-America accolades. Rashard Davis set the CAA record and led the country with four punt returns for a touchdown en route to being named a First Team All-American and being voted the CAA Special Teams Player of the Year.
He and Brandon Ravenel both earned First Team All-CAA honors, while Terrence Alls was named to the All-CAA Third Team in 2016. Following the year, Davis was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles to a free-agent contract and won Super Bowl LII as a member of the practice squad.
JMU’s offense set several conference records in 2016, including scoring (700), total offense (7,612) and first downs (380). The Dukes paced the FCS in completion percentage (70.8%) and first downs (380), as the passing efficiency from quarterback Bryan Schor to his receivers proved to be the best in the country.
Dudzik’s receivers produced a program first during that year, as the group produced the first season ever with four receivers tallying at least 500 receiving yards. Ravenel led the group with 720 receiving yards, good for ninth in JMU single-season history, while Domo Taylor, Alls and Davis each surpassed 500. JMU’s receivers accounted for 19 of the team’s 34 passing touchdowns.
Dudzik returned home to JMU where he was a four-year letterwinner and guided the Dukes to one of the biggest wins in program history as a player. He spent the previous two seasons at Duke, where he served as graduate assistant and football operations assistant, working primarily with the receivers.
In his two years with the Blue Devils, they won 17 games and were champions at the 2015 New Era Pinstripe Bowl with an overtime win over Indiana. This past season, Duke's offense was third-best in the Atlantic Coast Conference in total offense (439.4) while ranking fifth in scoring (31.5) and passing offense (246.5). T.J. Rahming was named a Freshman All-American after making a Duke rookie-record 40 receptions for 522 yards. In 2014, Jamison Crowder was a First Team All-ACC selection after making 85 catches for 1,044 yards and six touchdowns.
A native of Clifton, Va., Dudzik played in 37 career games at JMU, which included him being the full-time starter his senior year. He passed for 1,925 yards and 13 touchdowns while rushing for 728 yards and 10 scores during his career. On Sept. 11, 2010, Dudzik and the Dukes rallied from a nine-point, second-half deficit to stun FBS foe Virginia Tech. In that game, Dudzik passed for 121 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 35 more and the game-winning 12-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
Dudzik graduated from Madison in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in sport and recreation management and earned his master’s degree in sports leadership before becoming one of only 10 college graduates throughout the U.S. selected to work with the Cisco Sales Associate Program.
He graduated from the program in 2013 and became an Account Manager for the 2013 fiscal year. In 2013 he also coached running backs at Cardinal Gibbons High School before joining the Duke staff in 2014.
Dudzik is married to the former Meredith Klein of Chantilly, Va.
