Texas Tech Trio Eyes Lombardi Glory | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech’s three stars—Terrance Carter Jr., A.J. Holmes Jr., and Ben Roberts—are lighting up the Lombardi Trophy preseason watch list, joining just six Big 12 players on this elite 54-man squad. Holmes, a defensive powerhouse making his third watch list, dominated last season with tackles for loss and sacks. Carter, a tight end dynamo, is also chasing Mackey Award glory while hauling in touchdowns. Roberts, a two-way standout who led the team in tackles and won Big 12 MVP, proves he’s a force to reckon with. With Jacob Rodriguez—the 2023 winner—once a Red Raider, the program’s legacy of producing Lombardi-caliber talent is alive and well. More than just stats, this award celebrates grit, character, and discipline—traits that honor Vince Lombardi’s legacy—and funds cancer research at its annual gala.
