The Texas Tech football team received a commitment from the transfer portal on Saturday.

James Hansen, a 6-foot-2, 307-pound defensive end from Nevada, announced his commitment to the Red Raiders through social media.

Hansen is Tech's 11th commitment out of the portal, the majority of which have come on the offensive side of the ball. Fifteen players have opted to transfer from last year's team.

Previous transfer commits, plus the mid-year arrivals from the 2024 recruiting class, began moving in at Texas Tech this weekend in advance of spring practices.
