Replacement for Mahomes? JUCO QB commits to Texas Tech

Texas Tech might have found its quarterback of the future.

Over the weekend, the Red Raiders picked up a commitment from Tyler JC signal-caller McLane Carter.

A three-star prospect, Carter committed to Texas Tech over offers from Old Dominion, Southern Miss and UMass.

Carter was named the SWCJC Overall MVP after passing for 3,226 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Carter has three years of eligibility remaining. He will have an opportunity to start in Lubbock next year if Pat Mahomes opts to enter the NFL Draft.

Texas Tech now has 16 verbal commits in its 2017 class.
