Under head coach Kliff Kingsbury, the Texas Tech Red Raiders are becoming more a nationally known program, which will begin to pay off in recruiting. Although the Red Raiders entered the day with just seven commitments in the class, they have two extremely impressive gets in 5-Star quarterback Jarrett Stidham and 4-Star defensive tackle Breiden Fehoko. Stidham, a 6’3.5, 190-pounder from Stephenville High School in Stephenville, Texas is ranked as the country’s second-best dual-threat quarterback prospect. The 6’3, 290-pound Fehoko is from Farrington High School in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is ranked as the country’s seventh-best defensive tackle prospect.

On Tuesday, the Red Raiders landed another 4-Star prospect when offensive tackle Conner Dyer gave his pledge to the Red Raiders.

“It wasn’t easy,” said Dyer via Daniel Paulling of 24/7 Sports. “I’ve been around the country looking at schools just to make sure. And I’m glad I was able to do that so I can say for sure that this is the best decision.”

The 6’4, 276-pound Dyer is from Mesquite, Texas and attends Horn High School. According to Horn coach Mike Overton, the Red Raiders’ staff built an excellent reationship with Dyer.

“The staff did a super job with him,” Overton said. “They built a great relationship. They showed a genuine interest in him and his family. I think he and his family both believe that they maybe were the most genuine of all the schools.”

Dyer is the country’s 21st-ranked offensive tackle prospect, the 35th-ranked overall prospect in the state of Texas and the 233rd-ranked prospect in the class of 2015 according to 24/7 Sports’ composite rankings. Dyer also holds offers from the Baylor Bears, LSU Tigers, Ohio State Buckeys, Oklahoma Sooners, Stanford Cardinal, and Texas A&M Aggies, among others.
