LB Riley Hinds talks TTU offer, connection with Shiel Wood

Texas Tech has been active adding defensive lineman in the 2027 class, with four commitments to date and more potentially on the way. As the coaches look to build out the defense, one early linebacker target for the staff is Prosper (TX) Rock Hill's Riley Hinds. Hinds checks in at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds with a reported 4.5 40 yard dash, a 11.04 100 meter and a 32 inch vertical, which fits the athletic profile the staff is looking for at his position. Hinds picked up his offer from the Red Raiders back on June 1st after standing out at a Texas Tech summer camp. The offer was his first, a significant milestone for any recruit. "It was great that they were the first ones to offer me. It makes it probably high on the list later on in my recruitment."
