Texas Tech Football Recruiting: Receiver Nate Shelton Signs LOI

Last season, Shelton caught 46 passes for 990 yards and 14 touchdowns. Over his high school career, he amassed 1,580 yards and 20 touchdowns. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder is listed as running a 4.55 40-yard-dash by 247Sports.com.

Expect Shelton to play inside receiver at Texas Tech. He played primarily in the slot in high school where he showed nice hands, and the ability to make big plays after the catch.

At Texas Tech, the inside receiver position is stacked with depth for the next two years. Three of Texas Tech’s top four receivers in 2016 were inside receivers and all three return next season.
