“We’re excited to add a veteran defensive back with such experience, like John,” Texas Tech Red Raiders head coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “We will begin to get him acclimated with our team this afternoon, and I believe he’ll be a great addition to our defensive backs room.”
While Kingsbury said that he’ll be a great addition to the defense, it’s not clear now how he’ll fit into the Red Raiders’ defensive plans.
He played in just nine games last season. He had 19 tackles, 0.5 tackles for a loss, 0.5 sacks, one interception, two fumble recoveries, and three pass deflections.
