Overview

• Ojo, ESPN’s No. 20 recruit and No. 4 offensive tackle in the 2026 class, chose Texas Tech over Florida, Michigan, Ohio State and Texas after official visits this spring.
• Under the fully guaranteed three-year pact, he will receive $5.1 million in revenue shares, making it one of the largest guaranteed athlete agreements in college football history.
• The contract is enabled by a recent federal settlement and Texas House Bill 126, which allow direct, multi-year revenue-sharing deals with college athletes.
• Ojo becomes the Red Raiders’ first five-star prospect since 2024 and serves as a cornerstone commitment for head coach Joey McGuire’s rebuilding efforts.
• Texas Tech’s Matador Club NIL fund and more than $10 million spent in the winter transfer portal demonstrate the school’s aggressive investment in elite talent acquisition.
