Texas Tech Quarterback Behren Morton Stuns College Football World by Announcing Return for 2025 Season
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college football world, Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton has officially announced his return for the 2025 season. With many expecting him to declare for the NFL Draft after a stellar 2024 campaign, Morton’s decision is being hailed as a game-changer for the Red Raiders and a bold declaration of unfinished business.
Morton, who emerged as one of the nation’s top quarterbacks last season, finished the year with over 3,500 passing yards and 30 touchdowns, leading Texas Tech to a 10-win season and a top-15 national ranking. Despite speculation that he was NFL-bound, the junior signal-caller has opted to remain in Lubbock, vowing to lead his team back to national prominence and take care of what he believes was left incomplete.
“I came to Texas Tech to build something special,” Morton said in a press release. “We’ve laid the foundation, but the job isn’t finished. I’m coming back to win a Big 12 title, chase a national championship, and cement my legacy as one of the best to ever wear the Double T.”
Morton’s return instantly boosts Texas Tech’s chances in the 2025 season, with many analysts now placing the Red Raiders among the early favorites in the Big 12 and potentially in the national conversation. His leadership, arm talent, and ability to extend plays make him not only a fan favorite but also a nightmare for opposing defenses.
More than just statistics, Morton has become the heart and soul of the program. His grit, work ethic, and love for the university have endeared him to teammates and fans alike. Head coach Joey McGuire praised Morton’s commitment, calling him “a once-in-a-generation leader” who represents everything Texas Tech football stands for.
With key offensive weapons also returning and a defense that showed major strides last season, the Red Raiders now enter the offseason with momentum and belief. Morton’s decision is more than just a return; it’s a statement that Texas Tech is aiming higher than ever.
If Morton can deliver on his vow to bring championship contention back to Lubbock, he won’t just finish his business—he’ll etch his name permanently into Texas Tech football history.
