Rising Star Alert: East Texas LB Kaegan Ash Earns Texas Tech Offer, Sets Official Visit
LUBBOCK, Texas — The Texas Tech Red Raiders continue to build momentum on the recruiting trail, and the latest name to join the radar is one of East Texas’ toughest defenders. Kaegan Ash, a fast-rising linebacker prospect from Chapel Hill High School, has officially earned a scholarship offer from Texas Tech — and he’s already locked in an official visit (OV) to Lubbock.
Ash, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound tackling machine, has been turning heads with his sideline-to-sideline speed, football IQ, and relentless motor. His junior year saw him rack up over 120 tackles, multiple sacks, and key forced turnovers — numbers that have now drawn attention from Power Five programs across the country.
But it’s Texas Tech that’s making the strongest push.
“I was fired up when I got the call,” Ash said. “Texas Tech feels like a place that respects toughness and hard work — and that’s how I play.”
According to recruiting insiders, Ash will take his official visit to Lubbock next month, where he’ll get the full experience of what Red Raider football has to offer under Coach Joey McGuire. The coaching staff sees him as a perfect fit in their fast, aggressive defensive scheme, and sources say the interest is mutual.
Ash’s stock has skyrocketed in recent weeks, and with Texas Tech now in the mix, the battle for his commitment is heating up. Programs like Baylor, Arkansas, and Oklahoma State are also in pursuit, but the Red Raiders are believed to have early traction.
For a Texas Tech defense that’s hungry to add speed and physicality, Kaegan Ash might just be the next game-changer to suit up in scarlet and black. Stay tuned — this one’s just getting started.
