Texas Tech among standouts for OL Jacob Crow as decision nears
Alcoa (TN) offensive tackle Jacob Crow talks Texas Tech interest, upcoming official visit plans and decision timeline
A fast-rising offensive line prospect out of the Volunteer State, Alcoa (TN) standout Jacob Crow has quickly become a name to know in the 2026 class. Standing at a towering 6-foot-8 and weighing in at 300 pounds, Crow has drawn national attention with his rare combination of size, athleticism, and physicality in the trenches.
The Tennessee native now holds over 30 scholarship offers from programs across the country — and Texas Tech is firmly in the mix. The Red Raiders are set to host Crow for an official visit the weekend of June 6-8, as Joey McGuire, Clay McGuire and staff continue to prioritize the standout tackle prospect in their 2026 class.
Ahead of a busy few weeks of visits, RedRaiderSports spoke with Crow to learn more about his interest in Texas Tech, why he wanted to see Lubbock, when he plans to make his final decision + more.
