Austin Attalah<\/a> visited Texas Tech<\/a> on Friday. He was blown away by them. They were blown away by him.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great honestly,\u201d Attalah said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of those schools where I like everybody in the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir facilities are out of this world. They\u2019re crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his lengthy stay on campus, the 2028 four-star offensive tackle from San Bernardino (Calif.) Cajon<\/a> had extensive meetings with coach Joey McGuire<\/a> and position coach Clay McGuire<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He also got to meet mega-donor Gordon W. Davis, who donated more than $40 million to Texas Tech\u2019s College of Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was dumbfounded at my size for my age,\u201d Attalah said. \u201cHe kept saying, \u2018You\u2019re 16?\u2019 He kept saying it over and over.\u201d<\/p>\n

The top-rated player in California\u2019s 2028 rankings, Attalah really connected with Joey McGuire during his time on campus.<\/p>\n

There were some strong messages delivered during the meeting for sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had several meetings with him,\u201d Attalah said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s great. He\u2019s a players\u2019 coach and I really like that. He had a lot of good things to say and his program is going in the right direction. We had a pretty long meeting for the first meeting, probably like an hour in his office.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe told me if I came there they\u2019d win a national championship. He said if I go there, he\u2019d still be the coach and that he loves his job and if I go play for him he\u2019d be my head coach the whole time.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was a similar message from Texas Tech\u2019s offensive line coach, one that definitely resonated with Attalah, whose been in town for a few days since his grandparents and a bunch of extended family live there.<\/p>\n

Texas Tech, Texas, Texas A&M, USC, Cal, Penn State, Ohio State and Alabama round out Attalah\u2019s top eight.<\/p>\n

The four-star has an affinity for the Texas schools since his family lives in the state plus they have a ranch outside of Floydada, Texas where Attalah has spent summers before. USC is also making a serious push along with Cal and others for Attalah if he wants to stay closer to home.<\/p>\n

After his Friday visit to Texas Tech, he\u2019s already planning a return trip. He wants his mom to see everything on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted my mom to see it,\u201d Attalaha said. \u201cShe\u2019s going to come in and see everything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Austin Attalah visited Texas Tech on Friday.
