Kliff Kingsbury and the Texas Tech football team learned on Friday that they will have to replace a second huge contributor from last season’s offense. Inside receiver Jonathan Giles, last season’s leading receiver, has made it known that he is leaving the program making him the second major loss from that unit after quarterback Patrick Mahomes left early for the NFL Draft.
The Houston area native caught 69 passes for 1158 yards and 13 touchdowns during his sophomore season. He was the 4th leading receiver in the Big 12 and a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award for the nation’s top receiver.
