Texas Tech Football Players Named to Preseason All-Big 12 Team
As the 2025 college football season approaches, Texas Tech is already turning heads with several of its standout players earning spots on the Preseason All-Big 12 Team. This recognition not only highlights the talent on the Red Raiders’ roster but also signals that Texas Tech is primed for a breakout year under head coach Joey McGuire.
Among the honorees is senior quarterback Behren Morton, who has steadily evolved into the heart of the offense. Known for his poise in the pocket and impressive arm strength, Morton is expected to be one of the top quarterbacks in the conference this season. His leadership has helped build chemistry in an offense loaded with weapons.
Running back Tahj Brooks also received preseason honors, solidifying his status as one of the most consistent and powerful backs in the Big 12. Brooks rushed for over 1,300 yards last season and is poised to build on that success with a veteran offensive line returning to protect and open lanes for him.
Defensively, linebacker Jesiah Pierre made the list, thanks to his tenacity, speed, and ability to disrupt plays. Pierre has grown into a vocal leader and is expected to anchor the Red Raiders’ defense this season. His presence adds stability to a unit that’s looking to take a big leap forward.
These preseason accolades reflect the progress Texas Tech has made in recent years. Coach McGuire’s recruitment strategy and player development approach are beginning to pay dividends, and the buzz around Lubbock is real.
With stars on both sides of the ball and growing national recognition, the Red Raiders are no longer underdogs—they’re contenders. The preseason honors are just the beginning of what Texas Tech hopes will be a season to remember.
