Texas Tech University landed five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo on 4 July after signing the Mansfield, Texas, native to a fully guaranteed three-year, $5.1 million revenue-share contract, according to his agent, Derrick Shelby of Prestige Management. ESPN ranks the 6-foot-7, 285-pound lineman No. 20 overall and the No. 4 offensive tackle in the 2026 recruiting class. The deal is believed to be one of the largest fully guaranteed agreements since last year’s federal settlement cleared the way for direct payments to college athletes. Ojo selected the Red Raiders over Florida, Michigan, Ohio State and in-state rival Texas, making him the program’s highest-rated commit since ESPN began tracking recruits in 2006. Texas Tech has emerged as one of the most aggressive spenders in the new marketplace, having allocated more than $10 million for 17 transfer additions during the winter portal window. Ojo’s contract reinforces the school’s strategy of prioritizing funds for line-of-scrimmage talent as head coach Joey McGuire seeks to elevate the program’s national profile.
