Joey McGuire plans to add cut NFL players to Texas Tech roster

Texas Tech football coach Joey McGuire expressed willingness to enhance his team by potentially adding players cut from NFL training camps. Unlike the SEC, which has implemented rules against players returning to college football after going pro, the Big 12 currently does not have such restrictions. McGuire emphasized winning as the priority for his job security and mentioned ongoing monitoring for suitable players. Former LSU tight end Dae’Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris are among those attempting to make the transition back to college football this season after being released by their NFL teams.
