The winter transfer portal has officially opened, meaning some players on the Texas Tech football team are going elsewhere and others are coming to Lubbock from elsewhere.

This round of the transfer portal officially begins on December 9th and ends on December 28th. Until then, players can request that their names be entered into the portal. However, you are only allowed to officially enter the portal after the deadline has expired. From then on, players can take as long as they want to decide their next move.
