Texas football pressing for 4-Star OU WR decommit Jordan Hudson
The writing was on the wall for a good while now that the 2022 Texas football recruiting class might have a chance to essentially flip the commitment of the potent four-star Garland 6-foot-1 and 180-pound wide receiver Jordan Hudson. And one of the bigger storylines of the month thus far around the Big 12 football recruiting landscape arrived early this week with Hudson decommitting from the rival Oklahoma Sooners.
Specifically, it was back on June 14 that the news went public that Hudson would be re-opening his recruitment. He made the announcement about his decommitment from Oklahoma on his Twitter timeline on the afternoon of June 14.
It was almost a full calendar year that Hudson held his commitment with the Sooners, just to see his recruitment re-open early in the summer months this offseason.

According to a report from Horns247 on June 15 (paid content), Texas could soon be one of the schools in contact with Hudson following his decommitment from Oklahoma. Yet, it sounds like the SMU Mustangs and head coach Sonny Dykes and wide receivers coach Ra’Shaad Samples are the first in contact in Hudson. SMU pushed really hard for Hudson the past few months by most accounts.
The 2022 Texas football recruiting class could be a major player for WR Jordan Hudson
It looks like two of the schools that could duke it out to land the commitment of Hudson from here on out are SMU and Texas. The problem for the Longhorns is the amount of work that the SMU coaching staff, specifically Samples, has put in for prioritizing the connection and relationship with Hudson.
The most recent of the expert 247Sports Crystal Ball Predictions went in favor of Dykes and the Mustangs over Texas and the rest of the field. It is worth watching how both SMU and Texas start trending for Hudson’s commitment in the coming weeks.
Texas, SMU, and Oklahoma are three of more than 20 schools on Hudson’s offer sheet. Some of the other significant schools on his offer sheet include the Alabama Crimson Tide, Tennessee Volunteers, Auburn Tigers, Baylor Bears, LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Oregon Ducks, TCU Horned Frogs, Texas A&M Aggies, and USC Trojans.
If Texas were to land the commitment of Hudson when it’s all said and done, he would be the second wide receiver in the 2022 class along with four-star Lewisville product Armani Winfield. And Hudson ranks as the nation’s No. 114 2022 high school prospect, No. 14 wide receiver, and No. 23 prospect out of Texas (247Sports Composite). And the Top247 ranks him as the nation’s No. 185 high school prospect, No. 28 wide receiver, and No. 32 prospect out of Texas.
