Texas Tech football lands 3-star linebacker Derrick Lewis

The Texas Tech football team’s impressive win over No. 21 Oklahoma State on Saturday in Lubbock was not only beneficial to the team’s overall record and psyche, but it also came on a weekend when the program was hosting a number of highly-valued recruits.

One of those targets was 3-star LB Derrick Lewis, who verbally committed to the Red Raiders following his official visit to Lubbock for last weekend’s game. He made his decision known Sunday on his Twitter account.

The 6-foot, 200-pounder from Schertz, Texas picked the Red Raiders over such programs as Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Kansas, Boise State, SMU, Colorado State, and others.
