Lubbock Avalanche-Journal’s Don Williams has the post-spring depth chart. I’m not going to post the entire thing, but I’ll pick out 4 positions that are interesting:
Wide receiver Z
1 Micah Hudson, 6-0, 200, Jr-2L
9 Donte Lee Jr., 6-3, 185, Sr-Tr
11 Malcolm Simmons, 6-0, 180, Jr-Tr
84 Imari Jehiel, 6-0, 195, Fr-HS
Tackle
10 A.J. Holmes, 6-3, 300, Sr-1L
1 Julien Laventure, 6-0, 285, Sr-Tr
99 Jojo Johnson, 6-2, 290, Jr-Tr
91 Krush Johnson, 6-2, 295, Fr-HS
93 Dylan Singleton, 6-5, 305, Fr-RS
Noseguard
98 Mateen Ibirogba, 6-4, 300, Sr-Tr
92 Bryce Butler, 6-4, 325, Sr-Tr
51 Jayden Cofield, 6-2, 330, Jr-2L
96 Keyshawn Williams, 6-3, 320, So-Sq
90 Ayden Johnson, 6-1, 330, Fr-HS
Field end/outside linebacker
20 Adam Trick, 6-4, 250, Sr-Tr
33 Ansel Nedore, 6-3, 270, Jr-2L
97 Charles Anderson Jr., 6-6, 275, So-1L
86 Sean Robinson, 6-5, 225, Fr-RS
I have a difficult time posting the entire depth chart, but I think you know most of what’s happening and I think the Red Raider Sports article with the depth chart (presumably with the exact same chart) is behind a paywall so I always try to be respectful.
For me the most interesting positions are the positions where there appears to be an abundance of talent and I have no idea how these guys are going to split time. The other interesting position is the X-receiver position where Kenny Johnson is the leader in the clubhouse with young guys behind him (sophomores). My guess is that the glut of receivers at the Z-receiver position will split time at the X-receiver position because I can’t see Hudson, Lee and Simmons all being cool with splitting time equally.
Defensively, there’s just so many tackles and noseguards, same thing with the end/linebacker spot. I’d add that I’m not surprised by any particular player in any particular spot, but I think I just needed to see how the staff sees the position shake out.
Lubbock Avalanche-Journal’s Don Williams talked with head coach Joey McGuire on adjusting on life without Brendan Sorsby, with a little help from Bob Stoops:
“I was telling him, ‘I think we’re really good on defense. I think we’ve got three of the best backs in the country. We’re better in the offensive line, ” McGuire said. “He said, ‘Then you’ve got to find a quarterback that doesn’t screw it up.’ He goes, ‘You’ve got to find a guy and put him in position where he does things that best fit him.’ “
There’s a lot more there at the link.
Texas Tech football announced that Skydance and Paramount+ will have a 4-part unscripted docuseries:
Paramount+ announced the greenlight of a new docuseries chronicling the Texas Tech football team through one of the most consequential offseasons in the history of the sport, from director and showrunner Micah Brown (Coach Prime, Untold: Sign Stealer). Produced by Skydance Sports, the award-winning, premium content studio, the four-episode docuseries has been in production since January 2026 and is expected to premiere ahead of this year’s college football season.
“This documentary will give the Red Raider Nation an inside look at everything that makes Texas Tech Athletics special, the people, the passion, and the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines this program every day,” said Kirby Hocutt, Director of Athletics at Texas Tech University. “We are incredibly proud that Paramount+ selected Texas Tech for a groundbreaking documentary with rare access.”
I’m fine with this as cameras are around this program constantly, largely because I think they’ve got a terrific media team that does fantastic work. It will be interesting to see how much they show regarding the Sorsby Saga (someone trademark that for me – just kidding, I’m good), but it was certainly an eventful offseason.
