Amarillo Tascosa’s Krush Johnson commits to Texas Tech football team

The Texas Tech football team picked up its fourth commitment for the recruiting class of 2026 on Tuesday, one from the Red Raiders’ backyard.

Krush Johnson, a first-team all-District 2-5A Division I defensive tackle from Amarillo Tascosa, announced his pledge to Tech. He visited campus during the junior day the Red Raiders staff conducted Saturday.

Tascosa lists Johnson at 6-foot-4 and 275 pounds.

The Rebels went 7-6 this past season, going three rounds deep in the playoffs before losing to Aledo. In October, Johnson won the voting for the Amarillo Globe-News midseason area high-school football MVP.

Texas Tech and Texas-El Paso are the first two teams who have offered Johnson a scholarship.

The first three high school recruits to pledge to Tech were Georgetown East View linebacker Tieson Ejiawoko (6-3, 226), Mount Pleasant defensive tackle Ayden Johnson (6-1, 315) and New Braunfels Canyon defensive back Luke Bell (6-0, 175).
