No. 3 – Hudson Card
Position: Quarterback
Year: Freshman
Analysis: Much like Ja’Quinden Jackson, Hudson Card has a great opportunity to become the full time starting quarterback next season. Sam Ehlinger and Card share similarities, starting with being from the Austin area.
Coming from Lake Travis High School, Card was the second-ranked dual-threat quarterback in the 2020 class. The four-star prospect is seen as a better passer than Jackson though, as Card had 3,543 passing yards and 50 touchdowns his junior year.
An early enrollee, Card got a head start to earning the job in 2021. As of now, it should be a three-man competition between him, Jackson, and Casey Thompson. For now, Card will spend the next year absorbing everything he can from Ehlinger.
