Demetrius Alston brings disruptive edge pressure and front-line experience to Texas Tech
In his Texas Tech stint, Demetrius Alston flashed rotational-impact value, posting 8 tackles, 0.5 tackle for loss, a quarterback hurry, and a fumble recovery in six games with three starts before missing the final six games, so the care factor is his ability to affect the backfield when healthy.[6] Recruit and evaluation notes describe him as active, productive, and steady in playing speed, with enough size to fit an outside-linebacker/edge role, which suggests a motor-driven, assignment-reliable defender rather than a pure stat-sheet star.[5][2]
