BIGGEST BATTLE: Texas Tech vs. The Field
Micah Hudson is the top available uncommitted prospect in the Rivals rankings, coming in at No. 6 overall nationally. He’s the No. 2 wide receiver recruit in the cycle, making him one of the most coveted players on several programs’ boards.
Texas Tech has been viewed as the team to beat for the last several months. McGuire and staff have put in a tremendous amount of work in recruiting Hudson and the Red Raiders have got him to campus many times since the spring.
However, a commitment has still not come. Hudson told Rivals that he is thinking an announcement regarding his college plans might not come until signing day. That is months form now, leaving the door open for other schools to strike.
Texas and Texas A&M have both emerged as strong contenders for the five-star, with Hudson likely to visit College Station this month. But now Alabama and Oregon have also jumped into the picture, as the Crimson Tide are expected to host Hudson for an official visit next month.
All of this to say that the biggest recruiting battle in the conference for this cycle is Texas Tech holding off the field to sign its highest-rated prospect in program history.
