T.J. Vasher 2021 NFL Draft Profile<\/h2>\n

From S.H. Rider High School in his hometown, Wichita Falls, Texas, T.J. Vasher was a highlight sought four-star recruit with offers from a college football powerhouse in Ohio State and other solid programs, like Houston, Ole Miss, and Texas Tech. The 66th ranked receiver in the 2016 class, Vasher ultimately chose to play for Kliff Kingsberry and the Texas Tech Red Raiders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Vasher, he had a freshman season that he would like to forget in Lubbock. He appeared in just one game, against Stephen F. Austin, catching two passes for just nine yards. The following week, he injured his knee, missing the rest of the season. <\/span>Head coach Kliff Kingsbury also pointed to concerns about Vasher\u2019s maturity<\/span>, \u201chis [Vasher] approach isn\u2019t where it needs to be, or anywhere close. Physically, he\u2019s very gifted, but he\u2019s got to grow up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Entering his redshirt freshman season, Vasher played well with more opportunities and playing time as he found himself starting by season\u2019s end. He caught 29 passes for 545 yards, finding the end zone on six occasions. Vasher came onto the scene in Week 3 in the 2017 season (redshirt freshman), where he caught two passes, both touchdowns, for 113 yards in a loss against West Virginia. His other 100-yard game came at Texas, where he caught five passes, for the third time that season, for 127 yards and a score. Most importantly, Vasher flashed the elite ball skills which made him such a highly-touted recruit, such as this touchdown against West Virginia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
