Overview
- Q'Mari Hudson, a 2027 offensive tackle from Western Branch High School in Chesapeake, Virginia, announced his commitment to the Tennessee Volunteers over Virginia Tech and other scholarship suitors.
- Hudson brings notable size at 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds and is widely tracked by recruiting services that disagree on his rating with 247Sports listing him as a three-star and composite/Rivals placing him higher.
- Tennessee first offered Hudson on March 30 and he visited the program twice, most recently on an official visit in early June before making his pledge.
- Hudson is the 15th commitment in Tennessee’s 2027 class and is the second offensive lineman to join the group, bolstering depth on the Volunteers’ offensive front.
- Hudson framed his decision with the motto “No shortcuts. No excuses. Just work,” and his development in Tennessee’s program will be a key indicator of how his recruiting evaluation translates to college play.
