The Oklahoma Sooners have landed a commitment from 2022 wide receiver Jordan Hudson

Lincoln Riley and the Oklahoma Sooners have done it again. In recent years, OU has gone toe-to-toe to land some of the top recruits in the country, with Riley and his staff doing a remarkable job out on the trail. On Tuesday afternoon, they received another big commitment and fans are surely going to like this one.

Out of Garland, Texas, Jordan Hudson is ranked four stars and the No. 15 wide receiver in the country. He’s a 2022 product and still has well over a year before he can sign his National Letter of Intent, but he’s made his decision: he’ll be Norman-bound.

Jordan Hudson picked Oklahoma over LSU, Alabama, Texas and many others

Hudson had more than 20 offers to his name early on in his recruitment. He’s given his verbal to Oklahoma over additional tenders from Alabama, Auburn, Texas, USC, Oregon, Nebraska, Miami, LSU, Arkansas and several other top programs.

The Sooners now hold two commits for its 2022 class, as Hudson joins 4-star linebacker Kobie McKinzie on the list. McKinzie is also a Texas native, as he stars for Cooper High in Lubbock. That makes things even sweeter for the Sooners, as they’ve been able to land two highly-recruited players from Texas over the Longhorns.

The 6-1, 180-pound Hudson is a two-sport athlete in high school, also making plays on his basketball team. In football, his great speed and tremendous hands have made him one of the top receivers in the country for his class.

As a sophomore last year for Garland High, the future Sooners receiver posted 80 receptions for 1,285 yards and 19 touchdowns. Those numbers no question led to so much recruiting attention. However, only one team was going to win this battle to land him, which Oklahoma went ahead and did on Tuesday.
