The UCLA Bruins are in the mix to land a highly-recruited safety. According to Hayes Fawcett, the Bruins join Tennessee, Ohio State, and rival USC as potential fits for Jadyn Hudson.
Hudson, a class of 2025 safety, garnered a lot of attention from Power Five schools this season. A consensus four-star recruit, Hudson declined offers to play for powerhouses like Georgia, Michigan, LSU, and Oklahoma.
In what has been a busy offseason for the Bruins, taking big swings at top-tier talent, the Bruins hope the Pittsburgh-born defensive back will make Westwood his new home.
The 6′ 2″, 185 lb free safety Hudson has a knack for tracking the ball, making him one of the best ballhawks in his class. With freaky closing speed, even over-throws and under-throws are within his grasp to pick off. As a result, it is no wonder why teams are looking to add the interception-making machine to their secondary.
For the Bruins, Hudson should be a priority in the BIG 10, where defense is king to make them a contender for years to come.
