Top 2027 Tight End Ahmad Hudson Commits to LSU

The in-state pledge underscores early recruiting momentum for new coach Lane Kiffin.

Overview

  • Ahmad Hudson, who announced Sunday on Instagram, chose LSU over Nebraska in a major in-state recruiting win.
  • Hudson is widely rated the No. 1 tight end in the 2027 class and a five-star prospect, with services listing him as high as No. 11 overall at 6-foot-6 and about 240 pounds.
  • The Ruston, Louisiana standout is also a top basketball recruit, and it remains unclear if he will play both sports at LSU.
  • He moved up a planned July decision after steady contact from Kiffin and visits that began with an LSU offer in 2024, and he canceled other planned trips late in the process.
  • His commitment becomes the headliner of LSU’s 2027 class and lifts the class ranking, while Nebraska—after four visits hosted—misses on a priority target.
