Cowboys signed SMU WR Jordan Hudson.

25 April 2026

Hudson (6’1”/191) spent his freshman season at TCU in 2022 before transferring to SMU for his final three seasons. Prior to breaking out for 63-785-6 in 2025, Hudson never totaled more than 423 yards in a season. He displayed a good ability to create after the catch last season, posting a career-high 6.2 YAC/REC while also forcing 16 missed tackles, good for a 25.4 percent missed tackles forced rate. His 16 missed tackles tied for the 11th-most of all receivers in the nation. Hudson played primarily on the outside, but he lacks top-end speed (4.58 40-yard dash) and saw 54.8 percent of his targets come on short passes (0-9 yard ADOT) or behind the line of scrimmage, per PFF. The flashes Hudson showed last season make him an interesting developmental prospect at the next level. If he can find ways to create after the catch in the pros while continuing to improve his route running, Hudson could eventually earn a meaningful role in the right system.
