Texas Tech University has secured a significant commitment for its 2025 football recruiting class with the addition of four-star quarterback Lloyd Jones III from Hitchcock, Texas. Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 210 pounds, Jones brings a dual-threat capability that has garnered attention from several top-tier programs. Despite offers from Colorado State, North Texas, Texas State, and UTSA, he chose to join the Red Raiders, marking a pivotal moment in Texas Tech’s recruiting efforts.
Jones had an impressive high school career at Hitchcock High School, where he showcased his versatility and playmaking ability. In his senior season, he accumulated 2,598 passing yards and 34 touchdowns, along with 576 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground. His performance led the Bulldogs to a 9-2 overall record, highlighting his leadership and skill on the field.
This commitment is a significant boost for Texas Tech, as Jones becomes the third commit in their 2025 class. His decision to join the Red Raiders over other programs underscores the growing appeal of Texas Tech’s football program under head coach Joey McGuire. The addition of Jones complements the team’s previous signings, including four-star wide receiver Micah Hudson, who was considered the biggest recruiting win for Texas Tech in the 2024 class.
Looking ahead, Jones’s commitment adds depth and talent to the quarterback position for Texas Tech. With the Red Raiders continuing to build a strong recruiting class, Jones’s arrival in Lubbock is anticipated to make a significant impact on the program’s future success.
