Texas Tech and head coach Joey McGuire offered Wolfforth (TX) Frenship athlete Chase Campbell way back on March 23rd, 2022. At the time Campbell was still in middle school, and the offer was his first overall.
Fast forward some 2.5 years later, and Campbell is one of the most productive and sought after playmakers in the 2026 class, holding nine (9) FBS offers to his name.
Campbell has remained a Red Raider priority throughout, and he spoke with RedRaiderSports to share his interest in the hometown program + more.

Overall recruitment: "I would describe it different because I guess this is my first year being really recruited, recruited. Since June 15th coaches have been able to call me, I guess you could say. The no contact date. It's been very good hearing from a bunch of schools and I'm liking it a lot."
Offer from hometown Texas Tech: "I have been talking to (Joey) McGuire, Brian Nance, (Zach) Kittley, mainly all of the coaches. They've been reaching out to me and it's been a very good experience. (Texas Tech) is always gonna have a place in my heart and I'll always remember that when it's time for commitment. Just remember that they were my first offer and they saw the stuff in me before any other school did. Knowing that that's my hometown and that they want me there is a very good feeling."
Message from head coach Joey McGuire: "He told me that he knows that every school in the nation is gonna try to come get me but he's gonna do his best to make me a Red Raider is what he told me."
Chance to see the stadium renovations? "Yes sir, like you said it's right around the corner and I've been out there for a camp, I've been out there just to look, to visit, and I'm liking it a lot."
Texas Tech's move to Adidas: "I think that's very cool. With Patrick Mahomes being able to sponsor kids and bring in NIL money and everything, I think that's very cool."
Plans to return to Tech: "Yes sir, I'll make a few games for sure this upcoming fall and I'll also probably make a few practices for sure."
Teammate Leyton Stone: "Oh yes, Leyton is on me every day about trying to get me to Tech, trying to get me to come with him to practices, trying to get me to commit. It's very good knowing people really want me there for sure."
Recent visit to Arkansas: "Yes, I am originally from Arkansas. It was a very good visit being able to go back to where I was born and my parents also went to Arkansas too so they got to reminisce on how they used to live college and how much different it is."
Other programs he plans to visit: "I don't know for sure yet but I'll probably make a few games this year. I don't know for sure. That's something I'll have to talk with my family about."
Junior season goals: "Oh I'm trying to win district, that's for sure. Last year we came up short and I wanna win the district title. I wanna have a great season with my guys. I also wanna do my personal goal of 1,500 yards for sure. I just wanna do better than last year. I wanna have better stats, better everything, more wins. Whatever I can do to make us win more."
What he's looking for in a program: "I'm gonna look for sure the culture for sure and also a team that can develop me for the next level because the league is obviously the main goal. I wanna have a school that needs me and doesn't just want me. They need me there, I wanna come in and contribute to the winning."
