Micah Hudson, Texas Tech 5-star commit, erupts for 2 TDs on first 2 touches
The highest rated commit in Texas Tech history continues to back up his lofty pedigree.
Lake Belton (Texas) 5-star wide receiver Micah Belton exploded for two receiving touchdowns and a long punt return in the first quarter of a blowout of Grandbury on Friday night.
Led by Hudson, the Broncos' first unit built a 38-point lead by halftime and pulled away for a 45-7 win.
His first two catches? He turned into touchdowns.
Hudson scored the game's second touchdown — a 19-yard haul from quarterback Eli Mascarenas — to put Lake Belton up 14-0 with 5:27 left in the first.
The Broncos forced a turnover on downs on the next possession. Shortly after they took over, Hudson caught a pass on a curl route, shook two defenders in the open field and bolted in for a 70-yard score.
Hudson had recorded 138 receiving yards after his first four catches — all in the first half.
Hudson has, full stop, been one of the most dominant high school wideouts in the country this fall, including a 200-plus-yard game and a three-touchdown stunner on October 6.
However, he made made Texas Tech faithful nervous after taking an official visit to Texas A&M last weekend.
In an interview with Dave Campbell's Texas Football, Hudson reaffirmed his commitment to Texas Tech:
“I just want to be able to still have those relationships because you never know what could go wrong, but I’m still 100 percent locked in,” Hudson said. “… just being able to go watch a football game and things like that, being able to take my family up there, my mom had never been to A&M, so I just wanted her to go see it for herself to see how it went.”
