The Texas Tech football program is eager to boost its speed, which is why they’re welcoming Houston transfer Mikal Harrison-Pilot. He recently announced his commitment to the Red Raiders after a reported visit to Lubbock. Although his immediate impact might be limited, his arrival could have significant long-term benefits.
Despite not recording any stats in his freshman season with the Houston Cougars, Harrison-Pilot, a highly-rated prospect, has four years of eligibility remaining.He was a 4-star recruit in the class of 2023, ranked 193rd nationally and 35th in Texas by 247Sports composite rankings. Coming from Temple, Texas, he received offers from numerous prestigious programs, highlighting his potential.

With his impressive speed, Mikal Harrison-Pilot might find himself in action as a kickoff returner, although Tech already relies on senior Drae McCray for that role. Given Harrison-Pilot’s size, he’s likely destined for the slot position on offense, much like McCray. While he may make some impact this year, his true potential could shine in 2025 and beyond, especially as Tech seeks more support at inside receiver. Currently, McCray and 5-star freshman Micah Hudson are expected to dominate slot snaps, alongside Tech’s skilled tight ends.
However, with McCray’s impending eligibility expiration next year and Hudson possibly transitioning to an outside receiver role, Harrison-Pilot could step into both offensive and special teams roles. His exceptional track speed from high school makes him an attractive prospect for Texas Tech’s head coach, Joey McGuire, who aims to build one of the fastest programs in the country. Harrison-Pilot’s arrival in Lubbock could position him as a key figure for the Red Raiders’ future success.
