2027 5* TE Ahmad Hudson (#1 TE) to LSU?
- Thread starter ATX_Husker
- Start date
Unfortunately I was correct, he committed to LSU today. If we had a better TE coach as a recruiter and developer we probably land him. We don't and have no other real great prospect at this position.
I would not write him off, no inside sources but I think he has an affinity for Nebraska, the coaches and his fellow recruits

He was a surprise visit but it sounds like he's starting to find out who Kiffin really is all about. Glad he is here this weekend.
I was not surprised when he initially committed to LSU because he's a Louisiana kid and playing in Baton Rouge has probably been a lifelong dream. However, it is common knowledge that Lane Kiffen is shady as f^^^. Hopefully, as you said, Ahmad Hudson is in fact learning that Kiffen is a shady af guy and opts to come here.
Me tooThat's so cynical I'm actually surprised I didn't say it.
Damn, I must be slipping in my old age. This is twice now I have been out-cynicaled. What is the world coming to?

Hudson took an official visit to Nebraska this weekend and he told Rivals.com that Nebraska is a "strong contender" to flip him.
"The visit went great," said Hudson to Rivals. "They're a pretty strong contender. Just being able to get up here, you know, seeing everything… They are close."
Maybe Hudson is truly interested in playing for a meddling Nebraska program that is 19-19 over the last three seasons under Matt Rhule. Maybe he wants to leave his home state to play for a program that may have a new coach by the time he gets to campus in early 2027.
Or maybe Hudson is just trying to get the best NIL deal he can get. Feigning interest in Nebraska, after all, gives Hudson some leverage before he takes his official visit to LSU later this month (which is presumably when the final financial details would be taken care of).
Hudson is an elite talent who has the potential to be a game-changer in the SEC from day one. He's a player that Kiffin and the Tigers need to keep in-state. But should LSU get into a bidding war to keep him?

If Matt Rhule and his staff somehow are able to sign Ahmad Huston, who is a 5* prospect, who has probably dreamed of playing for LSU since he was in short pants, that would be quite the recruiting coup.
Suh pointed out our weakness at TE Coach. Nowhere have I seen Hudson talk about his connection with Satt. Without that bond, we aren't getting him. (I'm not cynical, just skeptical and a realist)
