RJ Hudson commits to Clemson, fills last linebacker spot for Tigers

Three-star edge rusher/linebacker Raymond Hudson announced Thursday night that he has committed to Clemson, giving the Tigers a defensive commitment out of Richmond, Virginia. Yesterday evening, Hudson posted his decision on social media, stating he’s “ALL IN.”

Hudson is a 6-foot-2, 215-pound prospect out of Varina High School. According to 247Sports, he is rated an 88 overall prospect and ranked No. 47 edge rusher in the country and No. 12 player in Virginia. In the 247Sports Composite, Hudson is listed as the No. 627 player nationally, the No. 53 edge rusher, and the No. 15 player in the state.

In a recent article on The Wire, it is shown that Hudson’s Crystal Ball page had Clemson at 66.7 percent of predictions, while Maryland was at 33.3 percent.

Hudson is expected to be the final take at linebacker for Clemson in the 2027 class, joining four-star Bryce Kish and three-star Max Brown. That gives the Tigers three projected linebacker pieces in the cycle and gives Ben Boulware a full group to work with.
