Three-star Texas Tech running back commit Daryl Chestnut (Miami/Christopher Columbus) said he is excited about the hiring of Kliff Kingsbury as Texas Tech’s head coach, but it doesn’t solidify his commitment to the Red Raiders.
Chestnut, who is 5-foot-8 and 185 pounds, said he understands Kingsbury is a great coach because of what he had done at Texas A&M, but he’s not sure how that will translate to his position.
“He’s coached Johnny Football [Manziel] to the Heisman Trophy, so you know he can do great things for quarterbacks,” Chestnut said. “But I’m a running back who wants the ball. I hope I can talk to him soon and figure everything out.”
