The Red Raiders will have a memorial sticker on their helmet, for the whole season, honoring McVay. McVay was Director of Operations with Texas Tech Football from 1997-2020.
The 'Guns Up' slogan had been a part of the Texas Tech Football helmets for at least the past five seasons. That trend has ended in 2020, but it's not permanent.
Wells was targeting Mason Tharp, a 6'7" tight end. According to 24/7 Sports, as a junior, Tharp in 2019 had 30 catches for 523 yards and 12 touchdowns.
