WR Myles Price – Texas Tech

The Red Raiders lose their leading receiver, Erik Ezukanma, but bring back Myles Price, who found himself on the Preseason Big 12 Second Team. Price was the third leading receiver for Texas Tech a year ago, with 38 receptions, 523 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

It’s a Texas Tech offense that has slowly declined the past three seasons, but Price will be the lone target for the Sooners to watch.

The arrival of offensive coordinator Zach Kittley should allow Price – and the other Texas Tech receivers – to flourish in a pass-happy system. Kittley’s offense is especially pleasant for slot receivers. He coached a player with a similar build and skillset at Western Kentucky and Houston Baptist in the form of Jerreth Sterns.
