Texas Tech's New Era Begins | Texas Tech Red Raiders Football News

Texas Tech kicks off a new era at Galaxy Stadium, chasing more than just another Big 12 title as they face Abilene Christian in their opener. With key defensive departures, coach McGuire’s transfer portal moves and returning stars like AJ Holmes Jr. and Ben Roberts lead the charge against a trick-play-heavy ACU squad loaded with former Red Raiders. Offensively, redshirt sophomore Will Hammond takes the reins under center after his ACL recovery, with Florida State’s Tommy Castellanos ready to add mobility if needed. The rushing attack boasts a trio of threats—Cam Dickey (1,000 yards last year), J’Koby Williams, and debutant Quinten Joyner—with LaDamion Guyton potentially stepping in if Trey White’s knee keeps him sidelined. And on the outside? Micah Hudson, a five-star recruit, battles for targets alongside Coy Eakin, Terrance Carter Jr., Kenny Johnson, and Donte Lee Jr.—making this offense one of the most electric in college football.
