Ahmad Hudson listed his top schools in his conversation with Rivals.

“Nebraska, LSU, Ole Miss, Florida, Alabama, Oregon, Texas A&M, Texas, are really the top schools,” Hudson said. “I mean, of course, I’m still looking at them all, but as I’m getting closer to getting ready to commit, that’s the schools I’m looking at.”

Hudson currently has six visits scheduled this fall.

Sep. 6: LSU Tigers

Sep. 20: Texas Longhorns

Oct. 4: Houston Cougars

Nov. 1: Nebraska Cornhuskers

Nov. 15: LSU Tigers

Nov. 22: Texas Longhorns

Hudson says that LSU and Nebraska have been communicating with him the most. Being a Louisiana kid, LSU stands out.

"You know, being a kid from Louisiana, growing up, that's all I knew," Hudson said. "That played a big part in why they're one of my top schools...Every kid wants to go play for LSU."

Multi-Sport Athlete

Another factor that will be present in Hudson’s recruitment is his desire to play college basketball in addition to football.

“It’s gonna make a complete impact because I wanna play both in college,” Hudson said. “So, whatever school I go to, that’s what I’m gonna do.”

Which ever school Hudson ends up going to, it will be a package deal with his opportunity to play basketball there. Hudson is the No. 24 overall player in the Rivals rankings of 2027 basketball recruits.

If Oregon were to land him, he could be a huge boost to both the football and basketball program. On the basketball court as a sophomore in high school, Hudson averaged 21 points, 14 rebounds, and three blocks per game. This would be a nice pull for Ducks basketball coach Dana Altman.

Oregon has had some incredible multi-sport athletes in the past. Most recently of note is linebacker Bryce Boettcher. Boettcher also played for the Oregon Ducks baseball team up until last season. He was selected in the 2024 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros in baseball while leading the Ducks in tackles for the 2024 season in football.

It's not easy for a college athlete to do this, but there is a select few that have been successful doing so. Can Hudson be one of them?
