Austin Young Commits to Texas Tech
📍 St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders·Thursday, July 16, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders quarterback Austin Young has committed to Texas Tech. Young, a Class of 2027 prospect, chose the Red Raiders over other Power Five offers. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound signal-caller is expected to fit into Texas Tech's spread offense, which aligns with his dual-threat abilities. Young's commitment provides depth at the position, as the Red Raiders lost their top quarterback to the transfer portal. Academically, Young is drawn to Texas Tech's strong engineering program, which offers a top-ranked curriculum. This marks Young's first commitment, as he had previously been uncommitted. He is expected to enroll at Texas Tech in the fall of 2027 and participate in the team's summer camp.
