See which Texas Tech football players are headed to the NFL as undrafted free agents

Nathan Giese, Lubbock Avalanche-Journal

The 2024 NFL Draft has come and passed with several Texas Tech football players still looking for homes.

A pair of Red Raiders were taken in the three-day event with Dadrion Taylor-Demerson being drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fourth round and Myles Cole heading to the Jacksonville Jaguars as a seventh-round selection.

Other Red Raiders will get their chance to make NFL rosters by signing undrafted free agent deals with teams. Here's a list of which players are headed where.

Austin McNamara

Punter Austin McNamara is headed to the Cincinnati Bengals. McNamara had an outside chance of being selected but wasted little time in finding a landing spot. McNamara closed his Texas Tech career as the program leader in career punting average and season punting average.

Baylor Cupp

Tight end Baylor Cupp was scooped up by the Kansas City Chiefs. The 6-foot-6, 260 pounder caught 11 passes for 114 yards and a pair of touchdowns this past season.

Xavier White

Lubbock native Xavier White is getting his chance with the Indianapolis Colts. The 6-foot White totaled 2,731 all-purpose yards playing receiver, running back and as a return man for the Red Raiders.

Rayshad Williams

The Las Vegas are the ones to take a chance on corner back Rayshad Williams, who had six pass breakups last season and finished his career with 136 total tackles. Williams will be reunited with former Tech teammate Tyree Wilson, who completed his rookie year with the Raiders.

Cole Spencer

Cole Spencer is going to the Tennessee Titans after registering a better 40-yard dash time (4.89 seconds) at the Big 12 pro day than any offensive lineman at the NFL combine.

Tyler Owens

Tyler Owens may not believe in space, but he's headed to the home of the National Air and Space Museum after linking up with the Washington Commanders. The defensive back tallied the second-best standing broad jump in NFL combine history.
