TEXAS TECH


Staying home: Three-star quarterback

Behren Morton was Texas Tech’s first commitment last October and since then the Red Raiders have stayed only in-state with pledges up until the last two. That means seven straight, including WR Jerand Bradley, two tight ends, two defensive ends and an offensive lineman.

Hitting the road: Three-star DT

Solomon Wright out of Vian, Okla., committed on May 1 and he was the first Texas Tech commit outside the seven-hour radius of the Lubbock campus by a mere 23 minutes. Recently, JUCO DT Demeco Roland made his pledge to the Red Raiders. Playing at Hutchinson (Kan.) Hutchinson CC, he’s 33 minutes outside of range.

Farrell's take: Morton is a good one and they are starting to hit their in-state stride. I’d like to see Texas Tech pull a few kids from the bigger states like Florida, Georgia or California.
