While Bryan Harsin and co. have had a fantastic offseason–particularly for a coaching staff that was implemented late in the recruiting cycle–they couldn’t bring the biggest quarterback name in the transfer portal, Tyler Shough, to the Auburn football program.

Instead of making his way to the Plains in 2021, Shough will be leaving the Northwest to join the Texas Tech Red Raiders football program. Trading in his neon Ducks uniform for TT red and black and migrating from Eugene, Oregon to Lubbock, Texas, Shough will now be joining a Red Raiders team that went 3-6 in 2020.
