Despite the shutdown of all recruiting activities outside of phone calls due to the coronavirus pandemic, Texas Tech football head coach Matt Wells has been on a roll in the last month. That continued Friday when the Red Raiders landed a verbal commitment from Solomon Wright, a defensive tackle from Oklahoma.

The 6-foot, 270-pound native of Vian made his decision known on Twitter saying of Texas Tech that the “atmosphere is welcoming and the coaching staff is awesome”.

Rated the No. 44 DT in the nation and the No. 11 player in Oklahoma by the 247Sports composite rankings, he also holds offers from the likes of Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Kansas, and Missouri among others.
