There is more than a win at steak this weekend. Many of Texas Tech's top recruits will be in town to cheer on the Red Raiders and explore the great University of Texas Tech. Here is a list of some recruits that are attending and what could possibly influence them to pick the Red Raiders:

The Commits

Jarrett Stidham - Quarterback (Stephenville HS, Stephenville, TX)

Height Weight 40 time Vertical Power Throw Ratings 6'3" 185 lbs 4.57 (4.38 shuttle) 31.1 32.5 98 (247), 86 (ESPN), 6.0 (Rivals), 5-star (Scout)

Stidham visits Lubbock once again this weekend, the 3rd time this season. This visit is his most important one yet. That is because Stidham has 3 possible receiver targets coming into Lubbock (two that are in the Top 150) and a Top 100 O-linemen from the 2017 class. While Kingsbury and company are doing their job on the field, Stidham can talk to these recruits throughout the game and convince them that they need to be Red Raiders. What's more appealing than the Top QB in the nation convincing you to catch passes from you? Having Stidham in ear of the recruits throughout the game will be a huge recruiting tool for the Red Raiders

Breiden Fehoko - Defensive Tackle (Farrington HS, Honolulu, HI)

Height Weight Shuttle Vertical Bench Ratings 6'3" 290 lbs 4.75 24.7" 405 lbs 97 (247), 85 (ESPN), 5.9 (Rivals), 5-star (Scout)

Breiden Fehoko will take his lone official visit this weekend to Lubbock. His regular season just ended and will be taking advantage of the bye week to visit Lubbock again. There one defensive recruits attending this game (S Christian Taylor), but Jack Anderson has already expressed interest via Twitter in meeting and hanging out with Breiden Fehoko. He could also help talk to offensive recruits about joining the team. When two of the Top 50 recruits in the nation are talking to you about joining their team, people start listening. Having Fehoko there will really help with recruiting.

Football Recruits

Tyron Johnson - Wide Receiver (Warren Eastern HS, New Orleans, LA)

Height Weight 40 time Vertical Power Throw Ratings 6'1" 185 lbs 4.52 (4.31 shuttle) 33" 38' 97 (247), 88 (ESPN), 6.1 (Rivals), 4-star (Scout)

After having to cancel his official visit to Arkansas, Tyron Johnson to finally making his trip to Lubbock this weekend. This will be his only official visit this season. He has visited Clemson (named leader two months ago), LSU, A&M and others, but the Texas Tech visit will the only visit in the last few months. Tyron Johnson will get the opportunity to talk with Jarrett Stidham, whom he talked to before at The Opening, and get familiarized with the Quarterback. A strong relationship between the two could cause Tyron Johnson to pull the trigger. On the field, Johnson would likely like to see to WRs to be involved in many clever ways. A player he might be keeping an eye on is Reginald Davis, who plays a lot like Johnson would if he were in Texas Tech's offense. Tyron Johnson could start at outside receiver (with all the switching around in recent weeks) or Marquez's position once he graduates. Hopefully Johnson will see a chance to start early. One thing that could've helped Tech is Speedy Noil's performance for Texas A&M thus far. Like Johnson, Noil was the Top Louisiana WR. He choose an Air Raid offense in A&M this winter and so far has done great in the offense. Hopefully Tyron Johnson sees that and thinks he can make the same impact for an Air Raid offense like Texas Tech.

Carlos Strickland - Wide Receiver (Skyline HS, Dallas, TX)

Height Weight 40 time Vertical Power Throw Ratings 6'5" 195 lbs 4.72 (Shuttle 4.28) 28.7" 31' 90 (247), 82 (ESPN), 5.9 (Rivals), 4-star (Scout)

Carlos Strickland will be taking his official visit to Texas Tech after talking to the Red Raiders for several months now. Ever time Carlos Strickland names a Top 5, Texas Tech is listed as one of the schools. This time around, Texas Tech was listed in his Top 4 along with Cal, UCLA and favorite TCU. He will take his official to Cal next weekend and TCU the week after that (for the Texas Tech game). Luckily for the Red Raiders, Tech will be the only school out of the four to have a Top rated QB at the game, which could help Texas Tech. Also
