For decades, the Texas Tech football program has found a way to make stars out of players many thought to be too small for major college football. Players like Tyrone Thurman, Neimiah Glover, Wes Welker, Eric Morris and Jakeem Grant have all been key contributors for the Red Raiders despite their diminutive statures.
Now, another undersized offensive weapon is looking to make a name for himself at Texas Tech. Tuesday, 5-foot-6, 150-pound all-purpose running back Chux Nwabuko announced his intention to join the Red Raider program as a preferred walk on in 2019.
Normally, a preferred walk on would not generate much buzz but Nwabuko is not the typical walk on candidate.
