Texas Tech football: Red Raiders in good shape with top LB target Colin Oliver

In the Texas Tech football program’s never-ending pursuit of a respectable defense, head coach Matt Wells has set his sights on one of the top players from Oklahoma, Colin Oliver. Arguably the program’s top LB target in the class of 2021, the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder continues to sort out his options and it appears Texas Tech is in good shape.

This week, Oliver released his top eight schools and the Red Raiders were included. Also still in the running are Nebraska, Iowa State, TCU, Utah, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, and Arkansas. In other words, there’s a 50% chance that this athletic LB winds up in the Big 12.
