No catches on two targets Geiger was held without a catch on two targets in Saturday's 28-22 win over Stephen F. Austin.

Impact Geiger has seen a slow start to his stint with the Red Raiders with just three catches for 11 yards on seven targets. Meanwhile Erik Ezukanma has back-to-back 100 yard receiving games with 19 total targets. Quarterback Tyler Shough will likely need to get the rest of his receivers involved if they're going to find success as a team, so Geiger should have better games ahead. Texas Tech will host Florida International next week.

Quiet day in Texas Tech debut Geiger pulled down three catches for 11 yards on five targets and rushed for one yard in Saturday's 38-21 win at Houston.

Impact Although the production was quite low for Geiger in his debut, there were some positives as he saw the second most targets on the team behind Erik Ezukanma's 10 targets and he also received a rushing attempt. Geiger will have better games and that could start as early as with Stephen F. Austin next week.

Ticketed for outside role Coach Matt Wells said that Geiger will play one of the outside receiver spots in the Texas Tech offense, Don Williams of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact The transfer from Troy is having his role solidify with Wells' announcement at Big 12 Media Days. Geiger (5-10, 170) has the versatility to play both outside and the slot, but Wells notes that his experience will be beneficial in helping some of Texas Tech's younger outside receivers in terms of development. He caught 73 percent of his targets at 8.4 yards per target over his two seasons at Troy.

Lands at Texas Tech Geiger announced Saturday via his personal Twitter page that he is transferring to Texas Tech.

Impact Geiger had a great two-year tenure at Troy. He totaled 141 catches for 1,625 yards and nine touchdowns over that span while earning all-conference honors. The Forth Worth native is heading closer to home to be near his family and adds fantastic depth and experience for the Red Raiders. He'll have one year of eligibility remaining and should carve out a role in the receiving rotation.

Moving on from Troy Geiger entered the transfer portal Tuesday and is expected to leave Troy as a graduate transfer, Matt Zenitz of AL.com reports.

Impact Geiger, an all-Sun Belt selection in both of the past two seasons, will presumably look to make the jump to a major-conference program for his fifth and final year of eligibility in 2021. The wideout should have plenty of schools vying for his services after he produced 64 receptions for 752 yards and three touchdowns over 11 games this past season.
