Texas Tech 5-star OT commit Felix Ojo shuts down recruitment

Less than a month after making a surprising commitment to Texas Tech, Mansfield (Texas) Lake Ridge five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo tells Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett that his recruitment is now shut down.

The 6-foot-6.5, 275-pounder chose head coach Joey McGuire and the Red Raiders on the Fourth of July. It looked to be a Texas-Ohio State battle for the coveted trench monster heading into his planned decision, but buzz began to swirl around Lubbock a couple of days prior to the announcement.

Now, he’s ready to fully lock in with the in-state Big 12 program. If he does sign with TTU, Ojo is currently set to be the highest-ranked prospect to ink with the program. The Red Raiders signed five-star wide receiver Micah Hudson in the 2024 cycle.

“I’m home. Ain’t no other place better than the 806,” Ojo told Fawcett.

He headlines a class that now ranks No. 25 in the nation, according to the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. On Tuesday, TTU picked up a pledge from in-state four-star wide receiver Chase Campbell, Rivals’ No. 8 WR.

The class now features 19 total commits, 16 of whom hail from the Lone Star State. Ojo, who’s reportedly already locked down a hefty three-year revenue-sharing deal with the program, is the class jewel and looks to be going nowhere.

Felix Ojo Scouting Summary

Rivals’ Scouting and Rankings team previously wrote this of Ojo as a prospect:

“Developmental offensive tackle with the frame, length, and physicality to develop into a top prospect at the position. Measured in at around 6-foot-6, 275 pounds with plus length before his senior season. Has a lean, long frame and should be able to add considerable mass once in a college strength program. Pairs his long arms with outstanding hand strength to stun defenders on contact. Punch is palpable, both on film and in the camp setting. Latches onto defensive linemen and manipulates them to his will. Plays with a nasty edge, working to finish blocks. Flashes dominance as a run blocker.

…Play strength, length, and solid athleticism point to upside in pass protection. Showed considerable growth in his game from his sophomore to junior seasons. Will need to improve his lower body flexibility as he can play high and displays some hip stiffness. The youngest top offensive tackle prospect in the cycle, turning 18 years old in July prior to his freshman season of college football. Rapid rate of improvement and notable strengths give him one of the higher upsides among 2026 offensive tackles.”
