LSU football lands 5-star tight end Ahmad Hudson
LSU football fans waiting for Lane Kiffin to make some noise on the recruiting trail in the 2027 cycle haven't had to wait long.
At the beginning of the year, the Tigers landed a commitment from top 20 defensive lineman Jaiden Bryant out of Irmo (Columbia, S.C.). On Sunday, they landed an even bigger prize, keeping one of the state's top players in Louisiana's home. extract-html.com
Ruston (LA) five-star tight end Ahmad Hudson announced his commitment to the Tigers, choosing LSU over Nebraska.
According to 247Sports, the 6-foot-6.5, 239-pounder is ranked as the No. 11 overall player in the 2027 class. The site ranks him as the No. 1 tight end and the No. 2 player in the state, only behind Elijah Haven, who committed to Alabama.
Hudson is a multi-sport star at Ruston, excelling as one of the state's top basketball players. He's averaged a double-double in each of his three seasons on the courts.
On the gridiron, he's proven to be a matchup nightmare.
This year, he participated in the Navy All-American Bowl, one of the few underclassmen to play in the game. He was named the MVP of the Louisiana Division 1 Non-Select championship despite the loss, after catching six passes for 169 yards and a touchdown.
Hudson could be kicking off point for LSU's 2027 class
Expectations were high for Tigers fans when it was announced that Lane Kiffin was taking over the program last November.
A prolific recruiter, it came as no surprise that many expected the Tigers to once again be among the top five teams in the country in acquiring high school talent.
So far, though, that hasn't exactly been the case.
According to 247Sports, LSU's 2027 class ranks as the No. 33 class in the cycle. The Tigers have only five commitments to date.
Of their five commitments, three are homegrown talents who rank as four or five-star talents. Kiffin was able to keep a commitment from four-star quarterback Peyton Houston, who committed to the Tigers last September.Four-star athlete Braylon Calais out of Cecilia (Carencro, LA) announced his commitment to LSU on April 20.

Fixing the defence is Artur Jorge's mission at Cruzeiro
The defeat to their rival made it clear that fixing the defensive system is one of Artur Jorge’s missions at Cruzeiro.
So far, only Chapecoense and Botafogo have conceded more goals than Raposa in the competition.
The team from Santa Catarina and the Rio de Janeiro side have both been scored on 26 times. Cabuloso, meanwhile, have conceded 24 goals — the same number as Remo.
And only Alvinegro are not in the relegation zone.
Considering only Brasileirão matches under the Portuguese coach, Raposa have conceded eight goals in six games.
Numbers that could have been lower if not for two “outlier” matches: the 3-1 loss to Atlético and the four goals conceded against São Paulo.
Cruzeiro still have not gone two straight matches without conceding across all competitions (10 games in total).
The improvement in the defensive system could begin as early as Wednesday (6), when they will visit Universidad Católica in the Libertadores.
A win could take Cabuloso to the top of the table depending on the result of Boca Juniors against Barcelona.

Star TE commit Titus Hawk will play two sports at Notre Dame
It's not often that college programs get a "two for the price of one" prize during the recruiting process, but Notre Dame appears to have struck gold.
The Fighting Irish have landed four-star tight end Titus Hawk for its football team, and a proven run-producer for its baseball team in the class of 2027.
As Fighting Irish Wire covered last year, Notre Dame has been hot on Hawk's trail for a while now, and got their man over several other blue-chip schools. Alabama, Florida, Michigan and Miami, among others, were also seriously interested in Hawk.
Hawk posted 31 catches for 644 yards and eight touchdowns on the gridiron last season.
