Bishop Gorman wide receiver Donovan Smith commits to Texas Tech

Bishop Gorman junior wide receiver Donovan Smith will play college football at Texas Tech, he announced via Twitter on Monday night.

His commitment is non-binding and won’t be official until he signs a national letter of intent in December or next February.

The 6-foot-4-inch, 190-pound Smith was recruited as an athlete, and chose Texas Tech over San Diego State, Utah State and UNR. He played quarterback on Gorman’s junior varsity team as a sophomore before moving to receiver on the varsity team as a junior, recording 49 receptions for 809 yards and eight touchdowns.

Gaels junior quarterback Micah Bowens announced his commitment to Penn State last week.
