After a somewhat slow start that included a bunch of turnovers, Ludlum got it going in the second half and put on a scoring spree that gave Platteville the separation it needed to put away Wisconsin Dells. An attacking wing prospect with good size and length, Ludlum was nearly impossible to keep out of the lane. Once he saw an opening, he went into attack mode and either scored off the glass or earned trips to the free throw line. Ludlum made all seven of his foul shots and hit consecutive three-point baskets during the midway point of the second half. He finished with 28 points and was efficient in doing so. The returning Player of the Year in the Southwest Wisconsin Conference, Ludlum is receiving recruiting interest from several NCAA Division III programs in the state.

A two-time unanimous first-team all-Southern Wisconsin Conference performer and the returning Player of the Year in the league, Ludlum gets things done with all-out energy, aggressiveness and skill. He loves to get the ball on the wing and attack the basket and usually finishes through contact and above defenders. Ludlum helped Platteville to a banner season under coach Mike Huser in 2023-24 as the Hillmen finished 24-4. The 6-foot-2 wing averaged 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists for a balanced team. Those numbers likely will increase this time around as Ludlum and Co. must overcome the graduation losses of four standout players. Defesnively, Ludlum’s quick hands, quick feet and strong anticipation skills helped him average 2.4 steals per game as a junior.

A long 6’3″ wing, Ludlum can splash a triple and attack driving lanes off the bounce. He is quick on defense and is active in passing lanes.
