Texas Tech defensive lineman who declared for the 2020 NFL Draft in January has reportedly transferred to an FCS school

Prior to the 2020 NFL Draft Houston Miller of Texas Tech declared. Despite not being highly regarded, Miller wanted to try and make the jump to the NFL. After going going undrafted, he returns to school but this time at the FCS level. Once a player declares but goes undrafted they forfeit any remaining eligibility at the FBS level.

At Southeastern Louisiana, Miller will be eligible to play immediately in 2020.  The upcoming season would serve as his final year of eligibility, unless he were to pursue a sixth season from the NCAA.

Miller was a three-star member of the Texas Tech football Class of 2016.  The lineman played his high school football in Keller, Texas. – John Taylor, College Football Talk

The worst coach firings of the last 15 years

247Sports put together a list on the worst firings in college football over the last decade plus. Former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach made the list. The Red Raiders saw their most success under Leach and since his firing, they haven’t finished with a winning record in conference play since.

Ok, so we’re going to make a slight exception here as Mike Leach was fired in the aftermath of a player mistreatment claim in 2009 which coincided with a rocky relationship with Texas Tech brass and days prior to a guaranteed bonus in his contract. The circumstances and claims have been hotly debated and disputed in the time since and Leach has been vetted and hired by two Power Five programs since that time.

Leach’s resume at Texas Tech is well known. He led the program to its best run in about 40 years and reshaping modern offensive football along the way. The high mark of Leach’s tenure was the 11-win campaign in 2008 (his next to last season in Lubbock) that saw the Red Raiders take down then No. 1 Texas, reach No. 2 in the polls and finish with a 7-1 conference record among what might be the strongest group of teams in Big 12 history.

Former NFL scout: Baylor RBs ‘quietly one of CFB’s best’

“The Baylor RB duo of John Lovett and Trestan Ebner is quietly one of CFB’s best,” Nagy said Saturday on Twitter, publishing side-by-side pictures of the two in a tweet. “Lovett is a tough, durable 212-(pounder) that gives (Baylor football) a physical presence. (The Senior Bowl) staff loves Ebner’s upside as mismatch in pass game and he can roll.”

During the Bears’ breakout 2019 campaign, Lovett rushed for a single-season career-high 665 yards and 6.4 per-carry average. Lovett took 103 totes and scored five touchdowns in all 14 games, also catching eight passe for a personal-best 66 yards (8.3 average). – Garrett Stepien, 247Sports
