Former Texas Tech quarterback Tyler Shough delivered a standout performance during the Red Raidersโ Pro Day, catching the attention of several NFL scouts and potentially boosting his stock ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. Held at the Dustin R. Womble Football Center, the event brought together representatives from more than 20 NFL teams, all eager to evaluate Texas Techโs top talent.
Shough, who battled through injuries during his college career, was determined to showcase his full potential. He put on an impressive display during passing drills, exhibiting strong arm strength, quick decision-making, and improved mobility. Scouts noted his poise and leadership throughout the workout, with several expressing optimism about his potential at the next level.
The 6-foot-5 signal-caller also excelled in agility and positional drills, demonstrating the physical tools that once made him a highly sought-after recruit. โI wanted to prove that Iโm healthy, that I can still make every throw, and that Iโm ready for the next chapter,โ Shough said after the workout. โItโs been a long journey, but Iโm grateful for everything Texas Tech has done to prepare me.โ
Several scouts were seen in deep conversations with Texas Tech coaches following the session, a sign that Shough could receive late-round consideration or be brought in as a priority free agent. His maturity, football IQ, and perseverance could make him an attractive option for teams looking to add depth to their quarterback room.
While Shoughโs path to the NFL hasnโt been without challenges, his Pro Day performance served as a powerful reminder of his capabilities. With the draft just weeks away, his strong showing has reignited buzz around his professional futureโand proved heโs far from done.
