Texas Tech’s accuracy-first QB with big-play polish
In the 2017 season, Nic Shimonek was one of Texas Tech’s most efficient passers, completing 66.5% of his throws for 3,963 yards and 33 touchdowns against 10 interceptions while helping the Red Raiders reach the Birmingham Bowl. His calling card was quick, accurate distribution—he hit 300-yard passing marks in 8 of 13 games and posted three-plus passing scores six times. Beyond the numbers, he showed poise as a first-year starter, a strong command of the offense, and enough dual-threat value to keep defenses honest. If your team wants a seasoned, high-efficiency pocket passer, he fits the bill.
