Graduate Transfer Tariq Owens Commits To Texas Tech
Texas Tech has picked up a commitment from St. Johns graduate transfer Tariq Owens helping to fill the void left by the graduation of Zach Smith and the possible loss of Zhaire Smith to the NBA Draft.
Monday, Texas Tech received a verbal commitment from 6-foot-11 graduate transfer Tariq Owens. The senior-to-be will make Lubbock his third home in college following time at Tennessee and St. Johns.
It was at Tennessee where Owens developed a relationship with Texas Tech assistant coach Al Pinkins, who was on the Volunteer coaching staff at the time. Now, that relationship will carry over to Texas Tech.
