Coy Eakin News, Rumors, Updates - Texas Tech Red Raiders

Makes the most of his chances Eakin recorded four receptions (on five targets) for 50 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-14 victory against Sam Houston State.

Impact Eakin found the end zone for the second time this season, hauling in a 21-yard touchdown as part of Texas Tech's second-half surge against Sam Houston. While he continues to be a big-play threat in the passing game, Eakin's weekly volume trails that of Kenny Johnson, who remains the clear leader in opportunities. Eakin's touchdown upside keeps him fantasy relevant, but he'll likely remain a more boom-or-bust option unless his target share begins to climb.

Stuck in the WR2 role Eakin caught 3 of 5 targets for 40 yards during Friday's 28-26 victory over Houston.

Impact Eakin remained involved against Houston, but once again played behind Kenny Johnson in the pecking order. For fantasy managers, the lack of a breakout performance keeps him off the starting radar. Through three games, Eakin has established himself as Texas Tech's WR2, but the volume and production have been modest. He's seeing enough work to stay fantasy relevant, just not enough to command weekly lineups. For now, Eakin is a deeper-league stash who would need either a touchdown or a larger target share to become a viable starter over the next couple of weeks.

Delivers the knockout blow Eakin reeled in 6 of 7 targets for 79 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-24 victory against Oregon State.

Impact Eakin led the Red Raiders with 79 receiving yards, including the game-winning 32-yard touchdown in the comeback win. Eakin continues to look like Will Hammond's most trusted target in key situations, and his ability to produce explosive plays gives him one of the highest fantasy ceilings in the receiving corps. In a passing attack still finding its identity, Eakin appears to be emerging as the safest weekly fantasy option for the team.

Better days are ahead Eakin reeled in all two targets for 13 yards during Saturday's 33-10 win over Abilene Christian.

Impact Eakin wasn't among Texas Tech's statistical leaders in the opener, but fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to one game in a deep and talented receiving corps. The Red Raiders spread the ball around while working QB Will Hammond back into action, leading to modest production across much of the receiver room. Eakin remains an important piece of the offense and should continue seeing opportunities as the season progresses. He's worth holding as a potential bounce-back candidate heading into Week 2.

Logs two TDs for Big 12 title Eakin recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 66 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 34-7 win versus Brigham Young.

Impact Eakin's touchdown receptions logged all but five of his 66 yards. For the first, Behren Morton threw a somewhat errant yet deep-enough pass that Eakin impressively caught. The resulting touchdown established Tech's first lead, which TTU never relinquished. For the Red Raiders' second touchdown, they set Eakin in motion, which helped Behren Morton complete a short pass to his aforementioned wideout. The wide receiver ran 25-plus yards, assuring Tech's last touchdown. For career highs, Morton is only one TD, two receptions and 62 yards short of equaling his current tallies.

Three catches vs. Mountaineers Eakin gathered in all three targets for 28 yards during Saturday's 49-0 victory over West Virginia.

Impact Eakin gathered in at least three catches for the eighth time this season. While his upside has been limited in 2025, he has been a consistent possession receiver with 44 catches (on 58 targets) for 560 yards and four touchdowns. Texas Tech will play BYU in the Big 12 Title Game next week.

Four catches in crucial win Eakin reeled in 4 of 6 targets for 52 yards during Saturday's 29-7 win against Brigham Young.

Impact Eakin hauled in four catches as Texas Tech cruised to a convincing win over the previously undefeated Cougars. Eakin has at least four catches in three of his last four games. While he's not the primary receiver for QB Behren Morton, he is a consistent target. Through 10 games, he has 39 catches for 512 yards and four touchdowns on 52 targets. Texas Tech will host Central Florida next week.

Five catches against Cowboys Eakin gathered in 5 of 7 targets for 48 yards during Saturday's 42-0 victory against Oklahoma State.

Impact Eakin recorded at least five catches for the fourth time this season. That's not bad when you consider that Texas Tech has dealt with some instability at the QB position of late. Back-up Will Hammond was forced out of this game with a non-contact knee injury which led to Mitch Griffis seeing the bulk of the action. Starter Behren Morton is expected back next week which should give a boost to Eakin's opportunities. Texas Tech will play at Kansas State next week.

Nabs score against ASU Eakin notched five receptions (on six targets) for 66 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 26-22 loss against Arizona State.

Impact Eakin grabbed the first touchdown for the Red Raiders in the tough road environment. It was his first score since opening the season with a touchdown in Texas Tech's first three games. Eakin is on pace for a career year with 29 catches (on 36 targets) for 407 yards and four touchdowns. He has an excellent matchup with Oklahoma State next week.

No production against Kansas Eakin posted zero targets during Saturday's 42-17 victory over Kansas.

Impact Eakin's streak of at least three catches in a single game this year was snapped as he didn't log any targets against the Jayhawks. Texas Tech dominated on the ground with 40 carries for 372 yards and four touchdowns. It's worth noting that starter Behren Morton left with an undisclosed injury which paved the way for Will Hammond to play most of the game. Hammond is a dual-threat quarterback which could affect Eakin's outlook for the rest of the season. Teammates Caleb Douglas and Terrance Carter did see eight targets apiece, so it's not like Texas Tech will completely go away from the passing game. They'll play at Arizona State next week and it's likely they will need to throw the ball in that game.

Nabs career-high 10 catches Eakin notched 10 receptions (on 11 targets) for 81 yards during Saturday's 35-11 victory over Houston.

Impact Eakin's 10 catches were a career-high for the junior receiver. Both he and Caleb Douglas saw 11 targets as Texas Tech's offense was flying high against Houston. Eakin opened the season with a touchdown in each of his first three games, however, has not cracked paydirt in each of the last two games. With his high volume of opportunities, he's a likely candidate to add a score against Kansas next week.

Through four games, the junior receiver has been efficient with 15 catches (on 18 targets) for 278 yards and three touchdowns. Texas Tech is on a bye next week before heading to Houston in Week 6.
