Texas Tech has secured a major recruiting victory by landing Felix Ojo, a five-star offensive tackle from Mansfield Lake Ridge, Texas. Ojo, ranked No. 20 in the 2026 ESPN 300 and considered the top recruit in Texas, committed to the Red Raiders on July 4, 2025. The commitment came with a historic, fully guaranteed three-year revenue-sharing deal. Reports on the contract's value vary: ESPN and several outlets cite a $5.1 million total, while The Athletic and other sources mention a $2.3 million base deal with potential escalators up to $5 million depending on future conditions. The deal averages approximately $750,000 per year and is notable for remaining intact despite recent NCAA-related payout restrictions following the House v. NCAA settlement. Felix Ojo's agent confirmed that Texas Tech did not reduce the offer even as other programs adjusted theirs. This signing marks the highest-ranked prospect Texas Tech has ever acquired and signals the program's growing influence in college football's evolving player compensation landscape. Ojo had multiple offers from powerhouse schools but ultimately chose Texas Tech, highlighting the program's new approach to recruitment and player deals.
