RED RAIDERS NOTEBOOK: Jakeem Grant making big impact for Red Raiders

Kliff Kingsbury thinks Jakeem Grant is the most difficult runner to tackle in open space that he has ever coached.

David Gibbs thinks if Grant was 6-foot-tall he would be a first-round NFL draft pick.

What the 5-foot-6 Texas Tech wide receiver is, though, is the Big 12 special teams player of the week.

Against No. 12 Oklahoma State on Saturday, Grant finished with a career-high 323 all-purpose yards (178 receiving, 146 kickoff return), which ranked as the fourth highest single-game total in Texas Tech history. He returned his school-record fourth career kickoff return for touchdown when he ran for a school-record tying 100-yard touchdown.
