Overview
- Austin Attalah announced his commitment to Texas Tech during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026.
- 247Sports lists Attalah as a five-star prospect, the No. 3 offensive tackle and No. 27 overall in the 2028 class.
- Texas Tech first offered Attalah in April 2026 and hosted him for an official on-campus visit in June 2026, moves that helped the program close the recruiting gap with Texas and USC.
- Attalah is one of the program's highest-ranked pledges and is counted as Texas Tech's fifth-ever five-star commit, a flip that pushes the Red Raiders into the top-12 of 247Sports' 2028 class rankings.
- The commitment builds on Texas Tech's recent momentum after a 12-2 season and a Big 12 title, and it increases expectations that the staff can use their on-field success to compete for more elite recruits while the player cannot sign until the NCAA signing window opens next year.
