SMU received a verbal commitment from five-star 2022 WR Jordan Hudson.
Hudson (6'1/180) is the highest rated player to ever sign with the Mustangs, ranking as the 12th overall player nationally according to ESPN. The Garland, TX native has been heavily recruited by 20+ teams such as Alabama, Auburn, Oregon, LSU, Miami and USC, originally committing to Oklahoma early Junes before backing off his pledge shortly thereafter. Also an accomplished track athlete, Hudson triple jumped 45-7 and ran a 11.34 100-meter dash as a junior. Hudson was wildly productive as a sophomore, catching 79 passes for 1270 yards and 20 touchdowns while playing against high-end Texas 6A level competition in the Dallas area. His clean routes and ability to play with leverage allow him to move the chains, while his height and athleticism allow him to reel in contested deep balls. Hudson seems secure in his commitment and intends to stay close to home at nearby SMU.
