Texas Tech paid up for a QB that will likely never play another down due to gambling allegations.

His progression is still quite a bit slower, and that arm slot that he throws from isn't overly appeasing. He had some nice balls, but I would not agree with this take. It would have been nice to see James and Diaz at WR.
guys that received 1st team reps today for the defense
DL: Merrieweather, Hubert, Gaffney, Eppy, Kennedy (Hawthorne didn't pad up)
LB: Montgomery, Buffington, Van Kekerix
CB: Lee, Watson, Godfrey
Cash: Wallace
safety: Lutmer, Hawkins
Pieper is almost certainly gone after this year. Myslinski is still waiting on approval for this year to the best of my knowledge. He's not on the 2026-27 roster.
nice video of todays practice, Looks like Eppy, Gaffney, Merriweather, and Hubert on the line for D.

Have to wait until the 25th to see who is playing where on the DL, but interior guys are probably:
Olagbaju transfer from North Dakota
Stevenson transfer from holy cross
Hawthorne
Hubert
Borcherding-Johnson
Gaffney
