Texas Tech staff: "Coach (James) Blanchard and coach (Marcel) Yates. I met them when I went on my unofficial last year and then I visited for a camp again in the summer. That's how our relationship started. They said they like how I hit, how I'm physical on the field, how I cover and how I'm fast too."

Reaction to offer: "I was extremely happy because it was a good way to start the new year off."

Schools recruiting him the most: "Baylor, Kansas, UTSA and Washington State are all recruiting me hard. I'm supposed to visit and see all those schools this spring.

Texas Tech is really big for me because my brother played there, so I plan to be there a lot this spring."

Kelby Valsin: Texas Tech signed Arlington Bowie WR Kelby Valsin as part of the 2023 class and having Valsin in Lubbock could help the Red Raiders chances with his former teammate Wokomah.

"It helps a lot because Kelby was my teammate and like I said I have family history in Lubbock."
