Former Oregon starting quarterback Tyler Shough is joining Texas Tech as a graduate transfer, he announced Monday.
Shough, who started all seven games in 2020 as Oregon won their second straight Pac-12 championship, will have three years of eligibility with the Red Raiders.
He completed 63.5% of his passes for 1,559 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions last season, but lost playing time to Anthony Brown in the Pac-12 Championship Game and the Fiesta Bowl. 6-foot-5, 221-pound Shough said after the bowl game he intended to stay in Oregon but entered the NCAA transfer portal on February 12.

An ESPN 300 rookie in the 2018 class, Shough spent two seasons supporting Justin Herbert before winning the starting position last offseason. He graduated in Oregon and tweeted that he would be pursuing a masters degree at Texas Tech.
Alan Bowman, Texas Tech’s first starting quarterback in the past three seasons, entered the transfer portal in January.
Texas Tech retains Henry Colombi, who had 1,065 yards and eight touchdowns last season, and welcomes Behren Morton, ESPN’s No. 20 pocket passer and No. 156 in the 2021 recruiting class.
Texas Tech replaced offensive coordinator David Yost with Sonny Cumbie, a former school quarterback. The Red Raiders finished 4-6 last season.
