  Another former Red Wolf is heading to a Power 5 school. Defensive lineman Vidal Scott announced Wednesday that he's transferring to Texas Tech. Scott entered the portal in April. Scott played in 23 Arkansas State games over the last 2 seasons. The Florida native recorded 42 tackles, 9 tackles for a loss, 3 sacks, and 1 pass deflection. One of his best performances in 2021 was an A-State road win at ULM. Scott had 3 tackles, 1.5 TFL, and 0.5 sack. He had 5 stops at South Alabama. Scott faced Big 12 competition in 2020. He had 2 tackles and 0.5 sack in the Red Wolves upset win at Kansas State. - Kait8.com

  If you think a punter cracking the top five of a roster ranking is strange, you probably haven't seen Austin McNamara boot a football. In 2021, McNamara averaged 48.2 yards per punt -- the highest in Texas Tech and Big 12 history. Punters can truly be game changers, and there's a legitimate argument that McNamara is the most valuable player on the Texas Tech roster. - Dallas Morning News

  Waters didn't have the first season at Texas Tech that he wanted due to injury. His singular interception in four games as a Red Raider was returned for a touchdown against Florida International. It was a glimpse of what he has proven to be capable of. Waters intercepted three passes and broke up 18 in four seasons at Duke. The Texas Tech secondary adjusted well to his absence last season. This group could be scary with an all-conference caliber player back in the fold. - Dallas Morning News

  05/12/22 - Tyree WilsonrSr/2023, Texas Tech, 6-6, 271 (DS#2 DE) + More +

  Poised for a 2022 standout season: Tyree Wilson started all 13 games at defensive end last season, and led the team with seven sacks and 13 1/2 tackles for loss. The 6-foot-6, 275-pound Wilson will now get a standing start as an outside linebacker. New coach Joey McGuire said Wilson will be on the edge more, giving the Red Raiders a chance to best utilize his speed and pass-rushing abilities. - AP College Football

  Former Texas A&M tight end Baylor Cupp signed with Texas Tech on Tuesday. "Baylor will be a big-time addition to our tight ends room," Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire said in a press release. "He has great size and runs well in space, which is exactly what we are looking for at tight end in this offense. We are excited to welcome him and his family to our football program, and we can't wait until he arrives on campus this summer." Cupp, who suffered a pair of season-ending injuries at A&M, will have three years of eligibility left. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

  2021 OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE FIRST-TEAM (COACHES): WR - Drae McCray, Austin Peay,...The heir apparent to what is becoming quite the wide receiver tradition at Austin Peay. He became notorious as a big-play receiver in the first three weeks with a 50-yard reception in each game. After opening OVC play quietly, he broke out with a 6-reception, 137-yard, 2-touchdown outing against Eastern Illinois. But he also saved the best for last, with a memorable 7-reception, 237-yard, 4-touchdown performance against Tennessee Tech that very well sealed his first team and all-newcomer recognition. - Austin Peay Football

  Jonathan Garibay of Texas Tech kicked the longest field in the FBS this season with his school-record 62-yarder as time ran out beat Iowa State 41-38. The field goal was the longest in a game matching Big 12 teams and was Garibay's second-game winner this season. His 32-yarder with 18 seconds left gave the Red Raiders a 23-20 win over West Virginia. Garibay has made 12 straight field goals, one shy of the school record set by Clayton Hatfield in 2018. - AP College Football

  NOV 15 BIG 12 SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jonathan Garibay, TTU, K, Sr.,...Garibay connected on a school-record 62-yard field goal as time expired to lift Texas Tech to a 41-38 victory over Iowa State. The field goal was one of two on the day for Garibay, who helped push the Red Raiders to their sixth win of the season to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2017. Both of his field goals came with no time on the clock as he previously connected on a 45-yarder to close the first half. His 62-yarder matched the second-longest field goal in Big 12 history and was the longest by an FBS kicker since 2019. It was only the third field goal of 62 yards or longer by an FBS kicker since 2000. The field goal was the longest by a conference kicker in a Big 12 game in league history as Garibay connected on the third game-winner of his career, including his second this season. He is now 12-for-12 on attempts this season, which is one shy of the Texas Tech record for most consecutive made field goals. - Big 12 Football

  11/13/21 - Jonathan GaribayrSr/2022, Texas Tech, 6-0, 217 (DS#3 K) + More +

  Jonathan Garibay was trying kicks beyond midfield before Texas Tech's game against Iowa State, but told coaches his range wasn't quite that far. They sent him out for one from the other side of the 50 anyway. Garibay kicked a 62-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Red Raiders to a 41-38 victory over Iowa State on Saturday after they squandered a 17-point lead in the second half. Garibay sprinted across the field with his helmet off as fans stormed the field to celebrate the walk-off win after the longest field goal in FBS this season, surpassing a 60-yarder by Oregon State's Everett Hayes last week. The senior from California broke the Texas Tech record of 57 yards by Blade Adams against Texas A&M in 1977. The Cyclones had pulled even on Andrew Mevis' 29-yard kick with a minute remaining before redshirt freshman Donovan Smith, making his first career start, got the Red Raiders just far enough to set up Garibay, whose previous career long at Texas Tech was 48 yards.

Garibay has made 12 of 12 field goals this season. "When you get to a distance that far, it's really hard to give it that nice height," Garibay said. "You've kind of got to drive it. I thought the wind's not blowing, don't try to kill this ball. I've got to hit a clean ball and hopefully it goes all the way." The Red Raiders (6-4, 3-4 Big 12) won for the first time under interim coach Sonny Cumbie in his second game. Texas Tech earned bowl eligibility for the first time since 2017 the same week Joey McGuire was named to replace Matt Wells, who was fired in the middle of his third season. Breece Hall had three touchdowns, including two on the ground to extend his Iowa State and Big 12 records to 22 consecutive games with a rushing TD. But the Cyclones (6-4, 4-3) lost any realistic chance of playing in the Big 12 championship game after starting the season in the top 10. - Texas Tech/AP College Football
