Micah Hudson, former 5-star WR, transfers from Texas Tech to Texas A&M: Source

Texas Tech transfer Micah Hudson, one of the top receivers in the transfer portal, committed to Texas A&M on Sunday night, a source briefed on the discussion confirmed.

Hudson was Texas Tech’s first five-star prospect and the school’s highest-ranked signee in the modern recruiting era. Despite much offseason excitement, he played sparingly as a true freshman, limited to eight games and just 107 snaps that season and was sidelined by injuries in his first year. It was revealed that he intended to enter the portal on December 1, and he officially entered on December 9, the first day of the winter student transfer window. He visited A&M on December 10th.

Despite his limited first-year production, there was still a lot of interest in Hudson as a transfer due to his immense talent. The Aggies have aggressively sought receiver help since the portal opened to improve a group of pass-catchers that lacked elite production and struggled to consistently perform against high-end competition. No A&M receiver has caught 35 passes or reached 550 receiving yards this season.

If Hudson is healthy, he should have an immediate impact on A&M’s passing game. The Aggies expect to return leading receiver Noah Thomas and former five-star recruit Terry Bussey, a speedy receiver who became more involved in the passing game in the final month of the season. On Dec. 4, the Aggies also signed 2025 five-star receiver recruit Jerome Myles, the No. 17 prospect in the country. A&M also awaits the return of quarterback Marcel Reed, who started seven games this season, including the final four of the regular season.

According to 247Sports, Hudson was the No. 16 player and No. 4 wide receiver in the 2024 recruiting class from Lake Belton High in Temple, Texas.
