With the early signing period upon us, here's the final part of our four-part series looking back at Texas Tech's past four recruiting classes. Here's a look back at the 2017 class:
Best player in the class
Quarterback Alan Bowman: Thanks to an injury to starter McLane Carter in the season opener, Bowman saw the field much sooner than expected. Before he suffered a partially collapsed lung, he was on pace to lead the Big 12 in passing yards. Bowman appears to have a future as one of the top quarterbacks in the conference.
Most surprising player in the class
Running back Ta'Zhawn Henry: Henry also saw the field sooner than expected because of multiple injuries across the running back depth chart.
