Texas Tech football coach Joey McGuire expressed confidence in Behren Morton as the Red Raiders' quarterback during a recent news conference. Despite speculations about potential transfers, McGuire affirmed Morton's position as the team's quarterback alongside other talented players in the room.
Morton, who threw for 3,335 yards and 27 touchdowns last season, is currently recovering from shoulder surgery and plans to resume throwing in April. He will undergo a structured program designed by Tom Gormely and intends to train in Jacksonville, Florida, before rejoining the team fully in June. While key receivers have been sidelined during spring practice, McGuire remains optimistic about their return and progress leading up to the upcoming season. The team is also focusing on implementing new offensive strategies under coordinator Mack Leftwich to enhance their gameplay.
