Tyler White Commits to Texas Tech
Tyler White, a Class of 2026 running back from Lakewood High School, has committed to Texas Tech University. White, who stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 195 pounds, chose the Red Raiders over other Power Five offers. The 4A standout's commitment is a significant pickup for Texas Tech, which is looking to bolster its backfield depth in the wake of several departures. White's athletic profile aligns with the Red Raiders' pro-style offense, and he is expected to compete for a starting role immediately. He also cited the university's strong academic program and research opportunities as factors in his decision. White had previously committed to another program but reopened his recruitment in April, allowing him to explore other options. His commitment to Texas Tech is a significant coup for the program, which is looking to build on its recent success.
