NC State has picked up a commitment from Coastal Carolina transfer quarterback Tad Hudson, who will join the Wolfpack's quarterback room for the 2026 season. Hudson's addition comes after NC State was unable to hold onto three-star recruit Kaneal Sweetwyne and reserve quarterback Lex Thomas entered the transfer portal.
Why it matters
The addition of Hudson provides much-needed depth at the quarterback position for NC State, which was looking to add a second high school quarterback to its 2026 signing class before those plans fell through. Hudson's experience and remaining eligibility make him a valuable addition to the Wolfpack's roster.
The details
Hudson, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining, will join an NC State quarterback room that currently features four scholarship players. The Wolfpack was looking to add another high school quarterback to its 2026 class, but was unable to hold onto three-star recruit Kaneal Sweetwyne. Additionally, reserve quarterback Lex Thomas entered the transfer portal last month, opening up a clear need for the Wolfpack to find another signal-caller.
- NC State picked up Hudson's commitment from the transfer portal in February 2026.
