Texas Tech Lands Fiver-Star OT with $5.1 Million Contract: Reports

  • Felix Ojo, a five-star offensive tackle from Lake Ridge, Texas, committed to Texas Tech on July 4, 2025, signing a historic $5.1 million fully guaranteed deal.
  • The deal follows a recent federal settlement allowing direct athlete payments, enabling Texas Tech to offer one of college football's largest guaranteed contracts.
  • Ojo is Texas Tech's highest-rated recruit ever, measuring 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, and he predicted a conference championship for the Red Raiders after an 8-5 season last year.
  • ESPN reported Ojo's three-year fully guaranteed contract is worth $5.1 million, surpassing the NFL's 2025 minimum salary of $840,000, making it a major benchmark in college football.
  • Ojo's commitment and contract signal rising investment costs for elite linemen, suggesting Texas Tech aims to elevate its program amid strong competition from top teams like Texas.
