A 2021 Tennessee commitment received a tough blow on Tuesday, as Hardin County tight end Hudson Wolfe announced he would undergo back surgery and prematurely end his senior season in high school football.
This is not how I wanted to end my high school career. I hate not being on the field with my team. @Vol_Football #PoweredByTheT pic.twitter.com/UBByfmMh1d

“Today I am having a microdiscectomy,” Wolfe said on Twitter.
“I’m working with a great team of doctors, and they have advised me that surgery is my only option to be back 100%,” Wolfe continued. “I will be back in no time! When I wake up from surgery, my FOCUS and #1 PRIORITY is to have the mentality of a professional as I rehab.
“I’m more COMITTED and more DETERMINED than ever to do what I need to do to accomplish my GOALS!”
Wolfe is a 6-foot-6, 240-pound tight end that is rated as a 4-star by the 247Sports Composite. Wolfe is also rated the No. 8 tight end in his class and No. 5 player in the state of Tennessee.
He caught nine touchdown passes in his junior year for the Hardin County Tigers in Savannah, Tennessee.
