One of the biggest pieces have recruiting news for the 2027 class has arrived, and it\u2019s a 5-star \u201cBOOM\u201d for Lane Kiffin and the Tigers.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Louisiana 5-star and No. 1 ranked tight end prospect Ahmad Hudson<\/a>\u00a0went public with his decision to shut down his recruitment and commit to LSU. <\/p>\n It\u2019s a massive win for the Tigers by not just locking down one of the state of Louisiana\u2019s top prospects, and one of the nation\u2019s top prospects, but also the heir apparent to current starting tight end Trey\u2019Dez Green.<\/p>\n At 6-foot-6, 230 pounds, Hudson has offers to play football and basketball at LSU, and the rising senior at Ruston has some of the most impressive film from Friday nights among any pass-catcher in the country.<\/p>\n Hudson recently told Rivals that he cancelled half of his planned official visits and was narrowing his focus to only LSU and Nebraska.<\/p>\n Hudson was originally planning to announce his decision on July 1. That timeline then moved up to the \u201cend of spring\u201d, he told Rivals.<\/p>\n Hudson gave a strong review of his recent visit back to Baton Rouge, his first time on LSU\u2019s campus since\u00a0Lane Kiffin<\/a>\u00a0and the new staff arrived.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you speak to a head coach, it shows how much they care about you,\u201d Hudson told Rivals. \u201cCoach Kiffin was texting me before the state championship game, wishing me good luck. Not a lot of people like that have the time to really do that, so that shows that he took time out of his busy day as the head coach of Louisiana State University to wish me good luck. It\u2019s just different.\u201d<\/p>\n Offensive playcaller\u00a0Charlie Weis Jr.<\/a>\u00a0and position coach\u00a0Joe Cox<\/a>\u00a0have also played a large hand in courting the five-star to LSU.<\/p>\n
