The Micah Hudson sweepstakes have come to a close, as the 2024 five-star wide receiver committed to Texas Tech on Monday night, proving that many of the recruiting prognosticators who were indeed correct in predicting the Red Raiders to gain the best athlete the cycle has to offer.
Though Texas A&M and the Texas Longhorns were primed to make a push this summer, Hudson opted to visit Texas Tech on the same weekend he was slated to travel to College Station during the Aggies recruiting pool party on the last weekend of July. Hudson revealed to Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Cole Patterson what ultimately sealed the deal between both parties down the stretch.
“Their pitch has always just been real relationships,” Hudson told Rivals. “That’s really what it is. I don’t have to be Michael Crabtree. I don’t have to be Patrick Mahomes. I can just be me.”
Hudson is the highest-ranked player ever to commit to the Red Raiders. He brings an offensive skillset that can take a program to the next level due to his game-changing ability every time he touches the ball.

Texas A&M’s talented 2024 wide receiver class is by far one of the top collections in the cycle, and while Hudson would have been the best addition by far, give credit to Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire, who, amid an 0-2 start to the 2023 season, created a lasting connection with the Temple, Texas native.
According to Rivals, Micah Hudson is currently positioned as the 6th-ranked player in the 2024 class, the 2nd-ranked wide receiver prospect, and the 2nd-ranked player in Texas.
