Quarterback Tommy Castellanos has committed to play for Texas Tech. He announced his decision after being granted a fifth season of eligibility by a court. Castellanos shared a photo of himself in a Texas Tech uniform on his verified X account. The commitment comes as Texas Tech prepares for the season with returner Will Hammond as the expected starter, following the ineligibility of transfer Brendan Sorsby due to gambling.

The court's decision allowed Castellanos to play an additional season. Further details about his commitment and the team's plans are available.

Texas Tech is currently the Big 12 favorite.
