Texas Tech has finalized the roster of student-athletes who will travel with head coach Joey McGuire to the 2026 Big 12 Football Media Days in Frisco. The program is sending six veteran leaders to represent the Red Raiders.
The selected players include tight end Terrance Carter Jr., wide receiver Coy Eakin, defensive lineman A.J. Holmes Jr., cornerback Brice Pollock, linebacker Ben Roberts, and center Sheridan Wilson. This group forms a veteran core expected to guide the team into the 2026 campaign following last season's Big 12 Championship and college football playoff appearance.
Five of the six representatives earned preseason All-Big 12 honors from Phil Steele. Additionally, all six received preseason All-America recognition. Carter was named a first-team All-American, while Holmes, Roberts, and Pollock were second-team selections. Wilson earned fourth-team honors.
The media days serve as the unofficial start to the college football season. Texas Tech enters the year as the favorite to repeat as Big 12 champions after adding a top transfer portal class and returning key veterans on both sides of the ball. Further details regarding specific schedules or quotes were not provided.
