Tahj Brooks returned to Texas Tech for the 2024 season to cement his legacy in West Texas. Brooks entered the season with an opportunity to break the Red Raider career rushing record of 4,219 yards that was set by Doak Walker winner Byron Hanspard from 1994-96. Besting that mark was a central reason why he returned. “No doubt, I’m on the side that he’s the best running back in the country," Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said. "I’ll argue that. Tahj Brooks, somebody asked me earlier, it’s gonna sound kinda funny but he’s kind of the security blanket. Whenever chaos is going on in the game and we’ve been through some injuries at quarterback, he’s the guy that is there and is steady. He’s the same guy every day, he’s an absolutely incredible teammate. We’re 1,167 yards away from tying (Byron) Hanspard’s record, but we’re 1,168 away from breaking it. Our plan is to break it."
