LUBBOCK, Texas – In a move that has sent shockwaves of excitement throughout the Texas Tech community, quarterback Tyler Shough has reaffirmed his commitment to the Raiders’ program. The news ensures stability and leadership for the team’s offense, as Shough prepares to lead the charge in the 2024 season.
Shough’s decision to remain in Lubbock comes as a welcome surprise, given the recent trend of top players entering the transfer portal in search of new opportunities.
However, the junior quarterback has made it clear that his heart remains with the Raiders, and he’s eager to build on the progress made during his first two seasons at the helm.
“I’m excited to be back and ready to work,” Shough said in a statement. “I believe in this program, my teammates, and our coaching staff. We’ve got a lot to prove, and I’m looking forward to leading the charge.”
Shough’s commitment is a significant boost for the Raiders, who are looking to bounce back from a 2023 season that saw them finish with a 5-7 overall record.
Despite the challenges, Shough remained a bright spot, throwing for over 2,500 yards and 17 touchdowns while rushing for an additional 300 yards and 3 scores.
“Tyler’s decision to stay is a testament to his commitment to our program and his teammates,” said Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire. “He’s a leader on and off the field, and we’re thrilled to have him back in the fold. We’re excited to see what the future holds for Tyler and our offense.”
With Shough’s return, the Raiders’ offense is poised to take a significant step forward in 2024. The junior quarterback has already established himself as one of the top signal-callers in the Big 12 Conference, and his experience and leadership will be invaluable as the team looks to make a push for a bowl bid.
As the Raiders embark on the 2024 season, they do so with renewed optimism and a sense of excitement. With Tyler Shough at the helm, Texas Tech is ready to take on the challenges of the Big 12 and make some noise in the college football world.
