Texas Tech's top running back target in the 2025 class, Brendon Haygood, has a big decision coming up.

The Sachse (TX) HS prospect committed to Boise State back in September but three Power 4 programs are in heavy pursuit in trying to flip Haygood, including Texas Tech. Whether Haygood sticks with the Broncos or chooses Texas Tech, Virginia Tech or Missouri is still up in the air, but with Early Signing Day exactly two weeks away that decision will be made sooner than later.

Haygood got to visit Lubbock for Texas Tech's game vs Colorado the weekend of November 9th, and Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire returned the favor as he was on the sidelines for Sachse's playoff game vs Rockwall on the 15th.

RedRaiderSports spoke with Haygood for his thoughts on Texas Tech and the latest in his recruitment.
