Texas Tech Lands Auburn Transfer WR Malcolm Simmons

The big-play sophomore arrives with two years of eligibility for a Texas Tech roster rebuilt through the transfer portal.

Overview

  • Simmons committed to the Red Raiders, as reported by On3 and ESPN, marking a key addition late in the January transfer window.
  • His agent told On3 he will have two years of eligibility remaining at Texas Tech.
  • Across two seasons at Auburn, he recorded 65 receptions for 908 yards and five touchdowns, including 457 yards at 18.3 yards per catch in 2025.
  • He chose Texas Tech after portal interest from Texas A&M, Kentucky and Arkansas, and his move makes him the final member of Auburn’s top 2025 receiving group to find a new school.
  • The pickup aligns with Texas Tech’s aggressive portal push that includes quarterback Brendan Sorsby and numerous defensive additions.
