Nebraska Cornhuskers football made the top six for 2027 tight end prospect Ahmad Hudson on Monday evening, as reported by On3's Hayes Fawcett.
The Huskers have been in the mix for Hudson's recruitment for quite a while, with his first visit to campus in March 2025.
Hudson is the top tight end prospect in the 2027 class, coming off a 2025 sophomore season with 61 catches for 969 yards and 13 touchdowns.
He was named the most outstanding player for the championship game, recording six catches for 179 yards and a touchdown.
The addition of Hudson would be a strong boost to the Huskers' 2027 recruiting class, which already includes quarterback commit Trae Taylor, safety Tori Pittman, and running back Amir Brown.
The Huskers have been working hard to stabilize their defensive line, and the recruitment of Hudson could be a key factor in this effort.
Hudson's next visit to Nebraska is set for March 28, and the Huskers will look to make a strong impression on him.
The team will face challenges from other top programs, including LSU, Texas A&M, and Miami, but they feel confident about their chances.
And with their next game against the Ohio Bobcats on September 5, 2026, the Huskers will look to build momentum and make a strong case for Hudson's recruitment.
But LSU, with the hiring of Lane Kiffin, will be a tough competitor for Hudson's services.
So the Huskers will need to stay consistent in their recruiting approach and make a strong pitch to Hudson.
The recruitment of Hudson is an intriguing one, with his desire to play basketball at the school he commits to, making it a key factor for men's coach Fred Hoiberg as well.
