Texas Tech received disappointing news Sunday when talented running back Tre Watson, a grad transfer who played his first three years at Cal, decided to play his final season in Austin rather than Lubbock.
The multi-purpose running back had been in town for the Texas Tech spring game before also visiting Texas and LSU in April. After announcing earlier in the weekend that he was no longer considering LSU, Watson kept both Texas schools waiting as he made what appeared to be a tough decision.
Ultimately, the Corona, California native settled on the Longhorns despite some close connections with members of the Texas Tech family.
