Texas Lands Brown Defensive Back Nick Hudson From Transfer Portal

Overview

• Texas added former Brown cornerback Nick Hudson through the transfer portal, with the commitment reported and then confirmed as a signing by Yahoo Sports and On3.
• At Brown, Hudson recorded 52 tackles and 13 pass breakups in 27 games and earned Phil Steele Fourth Team All-Ivy honors in 2024.
• He logged 975 career snaps with 10 starts and played 198 snaps on special teams, giving Texas a versatile depth piece in the secondary and the kicking game.
• The pickup followed Texas' portal addition of Michigan State linebacker Darius Snow, signaling a late effort to bolster the defense after missing the College Football Playoff last season.
• On3 ranks the Longhorns' transfer class No. 10 as Steve Sarkisian enters his sixth season in Austin with a 48–20 record and two CFP appearances.
