Will Hammond News, Rumors, Updates - Texas Tech Red Raiders | FOX Sports

Will start bowl game Hammond will be Texas Tech's starting quarterback for the 2024 Liberty Bowl against Arkansas on Friday, Don Williams of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Behren Morton (shoulder) is out, so it makes sense for Texas Tech's team to go to its backup quarterback for the Liberty Bowl. This is a prime opportunity for Hammond to showcase his talent, though the chance will definitely be far from an easy one. Relatively speaking, Arkansas' team has yet to be significantly affected by portal entries or bowl outs, and the Red Raiders will be without top wideout Josh Kelly (pro draft prep).
