Ahmad Hudson is making waves across multiple sports, and it's easy to see why. Fresh off an impressive football season, Hudson has now snagged Louisiana's Gatorade Player of the Year award for basketball. This dual-threat athlete took his talents to New Orleans on Sunday, participating in The Opening regional event just outside the city.
Standing tall at 6-foot-6.5 and weighing in at 239 pounds, Hudson isn't just any player. He's ranked as the nation's top tight end and holds the No. 2 spot as an overall prospect in Louisiana, according to 247Sports.
Nebraska and LSU are leading the charge in recruiting Hudson, who plans to continue his dual-sport journey in college. Before hitting The Opening, he made a pit stop in Baton Rouge for an unofficial visit to LSU.
There, he had the chance to connect with Lane Kiffin, tight ends coach Joe Cox, and offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. Hudson's future is looking bright, and both the football and basketball worlds are paying close attention.
