Former Houston WR Mikal Harrison-Pilot Transfers to Texas Tech

After spending his freshman season with the Houston Cougars as a wide receiver and special teams option, Mikal Harrison-Pilot transferred to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, according to his Twitter account.

With the Red Raiders, Harrison-Pilot is expected to make the transition to the defensive side of the field as a defensive back. The 5-foot-11 rising sophomore has a ton of upside that can be scary for opposing defenses.

247Sports ranked him as a four-star prospect out of high school, and Harrison-Pilot’s commitment to the Cougars out of Temple (TX) was a major win for UH. He originally chose the Cougars over offers from Oklahoma, Texas, Oregon, Notre Dame, and USC, among others.
