USC Among Elite 2025 Safety Jadyn Hudson's Top 10
Class of 2025 four-star safety Jadyn Hudson has narrowed his list to 10 schools Thursday evening.
Hudson is down to the following schools: Michigan, Georgia, Oregon, Ohio State, Penn State, USC, Miami, Washington, Tennessee, and LSU.
Why USC?
The 5-Star Pittsburg (CA) Safety received an offer from USC in late January. He announced the news on Twitter.
Hudson is the No. 60 overall prospect and No. 6 Safety in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 8 player in California.
The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Hudson holds 23 Power Five offers and 27 total as of September 7.
WeAreSC asked Hudson if the USC Spring Game visit moved the needle enough to get him back on campus again in the future?
“Yes it did,” said Hudson. “I’ll be there for as game during the season.”
At one time Oregon was thought to be the school to beat, but keep a close eye on Coach Donte and the Trojans with Hudson. We got a ways until 2025 prospects start committing in large numbers, but USC is definitely among the top options for Hudson.
