Stidham did not list any specific reasons for his decision, only thanking the university for the opportunity. 

The quarterback received offers from a number of upper echelon college football programs, including Alabama, Auburn, Ohio State and Oregon. Several of Texas Tech's in-state rivals -- Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor and TCU -- also offered Stidham, whom Rivals considers the No. 57 player overall in the class of 2015. 

Stidham had signed a financial agreement with Texas Tech in August and planned on enrolling early at the school. 

The Red Raiders finished 4-8 this season, the first time the team had failed to finish with at least five wins since 1990.
