Texas Tech offered Wylie East safety Michael Henderson III on December 25th, 2023, and less than a month later he was ready to announce his decision.

The athletic prospect always held high interest in Texas Tech and didn't wait long to jump in the class when the opportunity presented itself, making his commitment on January 23rd, 2024.

Since then Henderson III has remained solid, even though he has earned new offers from UTSA, Sam Houston State and UTEP in that time.

This past weekend was Henderson III's chance to get back to Lubbock and be around the coaches he committed to, and the visit couldn't have gone much better according to the 5-foot-9, 185 pound prospect.

Following the visit RedRaiderSports spoke with Henderson III to recap his trip to Lubbock, time spent around the coaching staff and what Red Raider fans should expect from him in the future.

Texas Tech OV: "Oh man, the weekend was great. As soon as I got there coach (Ryan) Conry was my host, he welcomed me in with very big arms. As soon as I saw coach (Joey) McGuire he was fired up, pumped up. Coach McGuire had great energy, you know? The visit itself, it was all-around great. I had a great experience touring the city, the campus and things like that so it was amazing for me for sure."
