Tennessee tight end commit has season-ending surgery

This was a tough blow for the talented product out of Hardin County High School.

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.

“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.
