The Texas Tech basketball team picked up its third commitment out of the transfer portal on Sunday.
UNC Greensboro guard Donovan Atwell announced his commitment to the Red Raiders on Instagram. The 6-foot-5, 190-pound guard joins Tyeree Bryan out of Santa Clara and LeJuan Watts out of Washington State as commitments out of the portal for Texas Tech this week.
Atwell was Greensboro’s second-leading scorer this past season, averaging 13.3 points per game to go with 3.4 rebounds. He shot 40.2% from the field overall with the majority of his shots coming from 3-point range, where he shot 39.8% from deep on 241 attempts.

What UNC Greensboro transfer Donovan Atwell brings to Texas Tech basketball
Atwell is a career 39.4% shooter from 3-point range, which provides the Red Raiders with another sharpshooter to the rotation who has a proven track record from deep. He’s totaled 907 points and hit 215 of his 297 career field goals from 3.
At 6-foot-5, the Red Raiders continued their trend of adding length across the board in the transfer portal. Bryan is also 6-5 and Watts, who committed on Saturday night, is 6-6. Texas Tech’s season came to an end against Florida in the Elite Eight and the Gators employed a lengthy lineup on the floor, something the Red Raiders seem to be emulating this time around.

With more length and athleticism on the floor, look for Texas Tech to try to employ a bit more switchability on the defensive end in 2025-26.
