Texas Tech soccer checks in at No. 25 in the recent coaches poll as they are set to take on Texas in Austin tomorrow night at 7:00 pm.
Red Raider Sports’ Jarrett Ramirez was at the media scrum with Tony Bradford and Dennis Wilburn, here’s a bit from Wilburn:
“Oh man, it’s great,” Wilburn said after Tech’s Tuesday morning practice. “There’s nothing better than blocking your opponent and then you just look up, and the running back is gone down the field. That’s one of the best feelings, you gotta get happy for them. I feel good about it, I feel good about the run game.”
Despite the success of the run game and how effective the offensive line has been in that regard, there are still questions about the fortitude of that group in the passing game. The Red Raiders are 13th in the Big 12 in sacks allowed (10). Wilburns knows this group is capable of protecting their quarterback.
“We know what to do, we just got to do it,” Wilburn said. “That’s it. We can call it out on film and everything. We just need to go out and execute.”
Texas Tech received a commitment from 2025 Stephenville receiver Tristian Gentry (6-1/165).

Since Gentry is just a sophomore he’s not rated by Rivals, 24/7 Sports, and On3. It is also maybe not a surprise because Stephenville’s offensive coordinator is Kolt Kittley, brother to Zach and son of Wes.
