The 2027 recruiting class is a long ways away for both programs but, as LSU looks toward the future the Football and Basketball programs may be fighting other schools an each other for elite 2027 recruit Ahmad Hudson.
Ahmad Hudson is a legacy recruit as his father Antonio was on the LSU Basketball team from 2002-2005 making the All-SEC Tournament Team twice. The LSU Football team offered Ahmad Hudson back in August of 2023 while the Basketball team followed suit on November 10th of 2024.
Aside from being a Legacy, LSU will have a strong pitch to Ahmad Hudson as Mason Taylor is about to be a highly drafted tight end while Trey'Dez Green could further point to LSU's development next season.
While the 2027 Class isn't fully ranked yet, On3, 24/7 Sports, and Rivals have ranked their top 100 recruits in the class with Hudson ranking in all three. 24/7 Sports has Hudson as the 32nd best player in the class, On3 ranks him as the 92nd ranked player, and Rivals ranks him as the 13th best player in the Class.
A factor that may help both the LSU Football team and the LSU Basketball team is the fact that Trey'Dez Green is being allowed to play both sports. How the Basketball team uses Trey'Dez Green could play a massive factor especially if he's able to contribute during the rest of SEC play despite first finishing off the football season.
