We caught up with Manor (TX) defensive lineman Jayden Cofield as part of our signee Q&A series for the class of 2023. We asked him a few questions as he prepares to make the transition from a Manor Mustang to a Texas Tech Red Raider.
What was the most memorable moment of your HS career?
"Scoring a touchdown in my final game."
What was the craziest thing any coach said to you in your recruitment?
"Some coach told me Lubbock would only be lit 5 days out of the year after I committed."
What was the biggest reason you picked Texas Tech?
"The fans and I love the town, it felt like something I wanted to be a part of."
What’s your favorite Tech uniform combination?
"All blacks."
What number do you want to wear at Tech and why?
"I wanted 55 but it’s retired so I kind of want a single digit like 6 or 7 because I don’t see many defensive lineman rocking single digits anymore."
