Texas Tech gets huge local addition by adding four-star WR

In-state recruiting has been a focus for head coach Joey McGuire as he looks to position the Texas Tech Red Raiders as a powerhouse in the Big 12.

Heading into Tuesday, McGuire had secured commitments from 15 state of Texas recruits. That includes the commitment of massive five-star offensive tackle recruit Felix Ojo from Mansfield, Texas. Ojo is considered to be the top player from the state, according to the 247Sports Composite

McGuire and the Red Raiders can now add a 16th in-state commitment to the bunch and a 19th commitment overall, and it's a big one.

Chase Campbell is a four-star wideout from Wolfforth, Texas, which is a 10-minute drive down the road from Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock.  

Campbell had over 20 offers and was highly considering Baylor as well as Kansas State, but ultimately, the Red Raiders won out for his commitment.

Campbell plays for Frenship High School and checking in at 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, he caught 82 passes for 1,511 yards and 18 touchdowns last season, averaging 18.4 yards per catch.

He can also do some damage with the ball in his hands. Campbell has 314 rushing yards and six touchdowns and, for good measure, he threw for two touchdowns as well.

Campbell is a big-time playmaker and the Red Raiders have to be thrilled they kept him away from in-state rival Baylor.

According to 247Sports, he's the No. 20 wideout in the 2026 class as well as the No. 21 recruit from the state of Texas.
