Texas Tech freshman RB Ashton Rowden brings power, speed, and a proven TD habit
Ashton Rowden is a high-upside freshman back at Texas Tech, listed at 5-foot-11 and 205 pounds, who arrived in Lubbock as a mid-year enrollee in January 2026 after signing in July 2025.[1][2] His calling card is production: as a 2025 high school senior at New Boston, he posted 1,700 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns, and he was a four-star composite recruit ranked among the nation’s top RBs.[3][4] He looks like a fit for a physical run game because he pairs contact balance and burst with track speed, but he is still early in his college development and has yet to log meaningful Texas Tech game stats.[3][5]
