Texas Tech University secured a major recruiting victory by landing Felix Ojo, a five-star offensive tackle from Mansfield Lake Ridge, Texas, ranked No. 20 in the 2026 ESPN 300. Ojo committed to Texas Tech on July 4, 2025, signing a historic fully guaranteed three-year contract reportedly valued between $2.3 million and $5.1 million. The deal, structured as revenue sharing, averages approximately $750,000 to $775,000 annually, with verbal agreements allowing renegotiation up to $5 million depending on future NIL regulations. This contract represents one of the largest NIL agreements in college football since the start of the revenue-sharing era, signaling Texas Tech's growing influence in college sports compensation. The university's NIL program has amassed $55 million, positioning it prominently in the evolving landscape of college athletics. Meanwhile, delays in the NIL clearinghouse have affected other collectives' deals, highlighting ongoing challenges in processing third-party agreements.
