Rarely does Lincoln Riley ever lose out on offensive talent. Especially wide receivers from the state of Texas. For once, the Oklahoma head coach seems to have missed on an elite offensive prospect.
Four-star Jordan Hudson had been committed to the Sooners for nearly a whole year. He decided to decommit on Monday afternoon, reopening his recruitment to the rest of the country.
Texas and SMU were immediately seen as the favorites to land Hudson. With visits now allowed, both schools have been pushing to get the wide receiver on campus.
Being from Garland, the Mustangs could have an easier time convincing Hudson to make a short drive to University Park. Steve Sarkisian and Andre Coleman have had to do some convincing.
It seems as if Hudson is listening and will be making his way down to Austin soon. According to multiple reports, the wide receiver will head to the Forty Acres to listen to what the Longhorns have to offer.
Hudson even tweeted out himself the possibility of a visit.

Wide receiver is a major priority for Texas in the 2022 class and Hudson should be near the top of their board. Armani Winfield is already on board, while Evan Stewart and Brenen Thompson’s speed separate them as must-get prospects. But, Hudson has been likened with current Dallas Cowboy CeeDee Lamb.
If you remember anything about the 2019 Red River Shootout, having a CeeDee Lamb type player in a Sarkisian offense would not exactly be the worst thing in the world.
Two crystal balls have already been inserted for the Ponies. When Texas ends up hosting Hudson, they will be playing catch up.
On the 247Sports composite, Hudson is the No. 14 wide receiver and the No. 114 player in the country. Within the state of Texas, he sneaks inside the top 25 at No. 23.
