Colorado flips 2025 DL Christian Hudson away from UCF

Daytona Beach (Fla.) Mainland three-star defensive lineman Christian Hudson has flipped his commitment from UCF to Colorado.

Hudson had been committed to Central Florida since July 6.

In mid-October, Hudson visited Boulder.

“My visit was amazing,” Hudson told On3 after the visit. “It was great getting up there and checking it out for myself. 

“Some of the big highlights were sitting down with Coach Prime, Coach (Damione) Lewis, and Coach (Devin) Rispress, Our conversations were amazing. They’re all great and really down-to-earth people who care about their student-athletes. A big takeaway was looking at their plan for me. It’s bigger than football more so towards getting a degree and being done in three years.”

Hudson said at the time that the Buffs continued to pick up steam in his recruitment.

“They definitely stand really high right now.”

The 6-foot-0, 280-pound Hudson is the nation’s No. 445 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 41 DL and No. 58 recruit from Florida in the class.
