Texas Tech Secures Commitment of Fort Worth Star Trey Hall

Freshman forward joins the Red Raiders after leading North Crowley to a state championship

Texas Tech head coach Grant McCasland confirmed on Tuesday that Trey Hall, a 6‑foot‑7 forward from Fort Worth, has officially signed to join the Red Raiders for the 2026‑27 season. The commitment marks the fifth new addition to the program’s roster, underscoring the staff’s aggressive recruiting approach.

A championship pedigree

Hall capped his senior year at North Crowley High School with a Class 6A State Championship, averaging 14.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 2.0 steals per game. He delivered an 11‑point, 10‑rebound double‑double in the title contest and was recognized as Co‑Offensive Player of the Year in District 3, earning first‑team all‑district and all‑academic honors.

Stat line and accolades

The Fort Worth native shot 65 percent from the field and 38 percent beyond the arc, finishing his high school tenure with 547 points, 341 rebounds and 73 blocked shots. His performance helped North Crowley finish the season at 35‑3, and his achievements were highlighted by a spot on the Class 6A All‑Tournament team.

Strategic fit for McCasland’s vision

McCasland, now in his third season leading the Red Raiders, has guided the program to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and a program‑record four victories over Top‑10 opponents. The addition of Hall follows the earlier signings of transfers Dra Gibbs‑Lawhorn, Cruz Davis and Damarion Dennis, as well as freshman DaKari Spear, forming a deep and versatile recruiting class.

Program momentum

Texas Tech finished the 2025‑26 campaign with a 23‑11 record, marking the third straight year the team earned an NCAA berth. The Red Raiders concluded the season ranked No. 21 in the AP Top 25, the first time the program has been nationally ranked during that span. Hall’s arrival is expected to bolster the frontcourt depth and reinforce the team’s push for further growth under McCasland’s system.
