The Texas Tech football program continues to make strides in recruiting, and they are now among the top four choices for highly sought-after Oklahoma offensive lineman Kaden Moody. As one of the most promising linemen in the 2025 recruiting class, Moody’s decision is being closely watched by several top programs. Alongside Texas Tech, other Big 12 and Big Ten powerhouses are also in contention for his commitment.
Kaden Moody’s Rise as a Top Prospect
Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing over 300 pounds, Moody has established himself as a dominant force on the offensive line. His size, strength, and technique have made him one of the most highly rated linemen in the country, attracting attention from top programs across the nation.
Playing high school football in Oklahoma, Moody has faced some of the best competition, and his skill set has only continued to develop. His ability to protect the quarterback and open up lanes for the run game makes him an invaluable prospect for any offensive line.
The Contenders for Moody’s Commitment
Moody has narrowed his choices to four programs, with Texas Tech being the only Big 12 team on the list. The other three schools include:
- Texas Tech (Big 12) – The Red Raiders have been aggressive in recruiting top offensive linemen, and landing Moody would be a huge win for their program. Texas Tech’s offensive system continues to evolve, and having a strong O-line is crucial to their success.
- Oklahoma State (Big 12) – Staying in-state is always a tempting option for top Oklahoma recruits, and the Cowboys offer a competitive program with a strong history of player development.
- Michigan State (Big Ten) – The Spartans have a strong track record of producing NFL-caliber offensive linemen, and their coaching staff has made it clear that Moody would be a key piece of their future plans.
- Iowa (Big Ten) – Iowa is known for its exceptional offensive line development, consistently producing NFL-ready linemen. Their track record in coaching and development could be a major draw for Moody.
What’s Next for Moody?
With official visits coming up, Moody will have the chance to evaluate each program closely. His decision will likely come down to factors such as coaching, development opportunities, and the overall fit within the program’s offensive scheme.
Texas Tech remains a strong contender, but they will face stiff competition from the Big Ten schools and in-state rival Oklahoma State. If the Red Raiders can convince Moody that their program offers the best opportunity for growth and success, they could secure a major addition to their offensive line.
Final Thoughts
As Kaden Moody’s recruitment process enters its final stages, Texas Tech fans are hopeful that he will choose to bring his talents to Lubbock. With strong competition from Oklahoma State, Michigan State, and Iowa, the battle for his commitment will be one to watch closely. No matter where he lands, Moody is set to make a significant impact at the collegiate level.
