Five-Star Plus+ WR Micah Hudson commits to Texas Tech

Five-Star Plus+ wide receiver Micah Hudson of Temple (TX) Lake Belton High announced his commitment to Texas Tech Monday night.

The 6-foot, 195 pounder chose the Red Raiders over Texas and Texas A&M.

“What ultimately stood out to me about Texas Tech is the REALationships I have with not only the whole coaching staff, but with coach McGuire, coach Nance the director of player personnel, and also Coach Justin (Juice) Johnson the assistant head coach and wide receiver’s coach. Coach McGuire is a selfless, caring coach. There aren’t too many coaches out there like Coach McGuire who will take the blame for everything and be understanding about things. He is a God fearing man, very strong on faith. The way he cares for people is just different than any other. He is never negative, always honest, and is an unbelievable caring coach who wants the best for not only the players but also the whole coaching staff and everyone else involved with the team & outside of it. Coach Kittley’s resume speaks for itself he is known for his explosive offensive mind and aggressive play calling. Knowing that, me and my future teammates will be able to excel in that offense and change the game which really excites me because we are going to shock the CFB world.”

The Lone Star State wide receiver is the first five-star recruit to commit to Texas Tech, and is the highest-ranked recruit to ever commit to the Red Raiders.

Scouting Summary

“Playmaking receiver who wins in every phase. Arguably the best wide receiver after the catch in the 2024 cycle. Measured at around 5-11.5, 195 pounds prior to his senior season. Has good length, with a 32.5-inch arm. A high volume target on the high school level who makes plays in a variety of ways. Finished his junior season with 1,198 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns on 65 catches. Also carried the ball 32 times for 243 yards and two scores. An above-the-rim athlete who is capable of skying to come down with spectacular acrobatic grabs. A shifty route-runner. Uses his lateral agility and coordination to shake defenders mid-route. A menace in the open field, taking short passes to the house. Uses his change of direction and balance to force missed tackles. Uses his stout build to become a running back after the catch. Capable of lining up anywhere within the formation, even in the backfield. Highly competitive on Friday nights. Also participates in basketball and track. While is long speed in the open field is good, he can continue improving the top gear and stride length.”
