Anthony Smith Dismissed from Team
Per LAJ’s Don Williams, Anthony Smith has been dismissed from the football team: DT Anthony Smith is no longer with the #TexasTech football program, spokesman Matt Dowdy confirms. — Don Williams (@AJ_DonWilliams) May 26, 2015 This is sub-optimal.

2016 JUCO DT Mychealon Thomas Commits to Texas Tech
Breathe a sign of relief as Butler C.C. defensive tackle Mychealon Thomas (6-2/324) has committed to Texas Tech. Thomas is originally from the Dallas areas, Skyline, and I’m guessing had to go the JUCO route because of grades. Only 21 tackles last year, although I’d guess that given this is Kansas JUCO football, there was […]
