2026 Mount Enterprise linebacker Kaegan Ash (6’0″/205) committed to Texas Tech over the weekend (Rivals | 24/7 Sports). I had to Google Mount Enterprise and it is a small town in Rusk County, population of 505, which then I’m trying to figure out how they even field a football team. I’m guessing that the 505 only the city limits and the school includes the surrounding areas.

Ash has been offered by Air Force, Army, Cornell, Dartmouth, Navy, Princeton, SFA, Texas State, UTEP, UTSA, Washington State, and Yale.

The 24/7 Sports link above notes how Ash is a 3-sport athlete, ran for 1,960 yards and 32 touchdowns and also logging 49 tackles, 9 TFL, and 4.5 sacks last year (there’s lots of additional detail there, but Ash also averaged 16 points and 7 boards in basketball as well as running 10.89 in the 100m, 22.52 200m, and triple jump of 49-3.25).

Red Raider Sports’ Ben Golan spoke with Ash about his commitment.

Forney receiver Imari Jehiel (6’0″/185) committed to Texas Tech on Monday (Rivals | 24/7 Sports). Jehiel has offers from Boston College, Houston, Kansas State, Oregon State, San Diego State, SMU, TCU, Tulsa, UTSA, Utah, and other smaller programs. Jehil caught 26 passes for 616 yards and 7 touchdowns for Forney last year, and in track he had a 15.96 110m hurdle and a 43.96 300m hurdle in 2024.

Red Raider Sports’ Ben Golan spoke to Jehiel about his commitment to Texas Tech.

ESPN’s Matt Miller with some 2026 NFL Draft sleepers, including DT Lee Hunter:

“Hunter is a big dude, but his strength and ability to command double-teams is where he’ll stand out in the 30 front,” said an NFC South area scout who has seen him play in person.

The 3-4 scheme isn’t known for producing huge stats for defensive linemen, but Hunter’s play at UCF has him on NFL scouts’ radar. Much like Byron Murphy II (No. 16, 2024) and Kenneth Grant (No. 13, 2025), Hunter is a massive interior prospect who could land in Round 1.

Lubbock Avalanche-Journal’s Don Williams reports on how receiver Micah Hudson returned to Texas Tech. Here’s just a bit:

The NCAA transfer portal’s spring window was open from April 16-25, and Hudson had his name in immediately. McGuire talked first with Hudson’s mother, letting her know he planned to call Micah.

“She goes, ‘No, he’s going to talk to you face to face. I think you’re going to see the guy that you recruited is the guy that is going to be in front of you,’ ” McGuire said.

Lubbock Avalanche-Journal’s Don Williams on the offensive line battles, the idea that left tackle is settled, but there’s lots of spots up for grabs including Jacob Ponton and Hunter Zambrano at right tackle; and left guard with Vinny Sciury and Will Jados. McGuire also said that he’s having guys cross-train between numerous spots:

McGuire’s put a renewed emphasis on cross-training players at multiple positions. In the case of offensive linemen, he said that’s because of what happened last year after Sciury suffered his season-ending injury in the second game.

“If I could go back last year and redo what I did in the offensive line,” McGuire said, “after Vinny Sciury blew his ACL against Washington State, I would have left Sterling (Porcher) at left tackle and then tried to figure out who could start at left guard. So we, this spring, didn’t want to get in that situation where you’re trying to move one position to another and they haven’t taken any reps in it or anything until that week going in.”
