Texas Tech football, freshman wide receiver Micah Hudson has announced his intention to enter the transfer portal, marking a poignant moment for the Red Raiders. Hudson, who joined Texas Tech as a five-star recruit and was the highest-ranked high school player ever to sign with the program, struggled to find his footing in a crowded receiver room during the 2024 season. He recorded just eight receptions for 123 yards and no touchdowns.
Hudson’s decision to transfer comes on the heels of Texas Tech’s commanding 52-15 victory over West Virginia, which concluded their regular season with an 8-4 record. Despite the team’s success, Hudson’s limited playing time and the depth of talent at the wide receiver position may have influenced his choice to seek opportunities elsewhere.
This news is particularly disheartening for the Red Raiders, who had high expectations for Hudson’s contributions to their high-powered offense. As the team prepares for the upcoming bowl season, they will need to adjust their strategies to account for the loss of such a promising talent.
The departure of Hudson underscores the challenges teams face in retaining top recruits amid fierce competition and the lure of the transfer portal. Texas Tech will now focus on supporting its remaining players and reinforcing its roster to maintain the momentum built during the 2024 season.ª
