In the game of football, there is always room for more beef on the defensive line, especially for a program like Texas Tech that has seen some lean years up front in the recent past. That’s why the addition of former Rice defensive tackle Preston Gordon should not be underestimated.
The Houston native announced his intention to transfer to Texas Tech via Twitter on Saturday. As a graduate transfer (meaning he has already earned an undergraduate degree from Rice) Gordon will be eligible to play this fall and will not have to sit out a season as is the case with most transfers.
