The Texas Tech coaches continued their hot streak by landing yet another commitment out of the transfer portal.

The latest addition is UTEP transfer cornerback Amier Boyd-Matthews.

Boyd-Matthews chose Texas Tech over offers from Colorado State and Wake Forest among others.

As a redshirt sophomore in 2024 Boyd-Matthews saw his most extensive action to date, starting four games and playing a total of 360 snaps as a Miner.

He recorded 16 tackles, 1 tackle-for-loss, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 2 interceptions and 3 pass breakups.

Boyd-Matthews' season PFF grade of 67.7 ranked eighth among UTEP defenders with at least 150 snaps played.

Boyd-Matthews was targeted 26 times on the season but only gave up 9 catches for 163 yards. He recorded two interceptions while also giving up two touchdowns. Opposing passers had an NFL quarterback rating of 50.6 when targeting Boyd-Matthews.

Boyd-Matthews is Texas Tech's fourth defensive back added in the transfer portal, joining Cole Wisniewski, Dontae Balfour and Brice Pollock.
