This Winter, if your College Football program was competing for a transfer, regardless of which school you root for, you likely ran up against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
On almost a daily basis, Texas Tech was landing a commitment, finishing the transfer portal cycle with 21 transfers and what many consider the best transfer portal class in the Country. It wasn’t just the volume of players that Texas Tech was landing as every piece was seemingly an impact player.
David Bailey transferred in after a 7 sack season at Stanford, Lee Hunter had an impressive season on the defensive line at UCF, and Romello Height join the group giving the team a loaded defensive line.
Looking to rebuild the secondary, Brice Pollock and Cole Wisniewski join the team as instant impact players while Dontae Balfour, Amier Boyd, and Tarrion Grant are all potential key pieces for this group. On Offense, the Red Raiders return quarterback Behren Morton and it was all about surrounding him with weapons.
Quinten Joyner was a massive addition at running back after he impressed at USC as a Redshirt Freshman. After former 5-star wide receiver Micah Hudson transferred to Texas A&M in the Winter, the Red Raiders brought him back in the Spring. On the offensive line, Texas Tech added three instant starters which only helps the loaded group at the skill positions.
Adding the level of talent that Texas Tech added this offseason to an already loaded roster makes the team one of the few teams on the shortlist of contenders in the Big 12. Texas Tech’s investment in College Football is jaw dropping As the Red Raiders spent constantly this offseason, the question came up “How much did Texas Tech spend to build this roster?”.
College Football fans have finally gotten their answer, as it’s reported that the Red Raiders will spend $55 million on this roster when it’s all said and done.
