Micah Hudson continues to back up his 5-star designation.

The Lake Belton (Texas) receiver, who recently became the top-rated prospect to ever commit to Texas Tech, made a SportsCenter Top 10-worthy catch to spur a 49-yard touchdown haul in Lake Belton's game against Waco on Friday night.

The catch was made downfield in a sea of Waco defenders. Lake Belton led 48-0 in the second half.

The touchdown put the Broncos up four scores over the Lions.
