One of Texas Tech's top signees in the 2024 class hailed from Pflugerville (TX) Weiss HS in safety Peyton Morgan, and the staff is looking to go right back to the well in 2026.

Offensive guard Jerald "JJ" Mays has been a Red Raider priority for over 16 months now, as the junior prospect picked up his offer from Texas Tech back in June 2023 after standing out at a Texas Tech summer camp.

Now closing in on 20 offers, Mays has actually received offers from every Power 4 Conference and has quickly made himself a national recruit.

Mays was back in Lubbock over the weekend for Texas Tech's game vs Colorado, and RedRaiderSports caught up with Mays following the visit for his reaction.
