Edge rusher Romello Height was a key component of the Texas Tech Red Raiders’ disruptive defense throughout the 2025 campaign.
Texas Tech became a deadly team during their Big 12 Championship season thanks to the one-year transfer starter from Georgia Tech.
The All-Big 12 First Team pick had two forced fumbles, one recovery, 38 total tackles, 11 of which resulted in a loss of 71 yards, and 9. 5 sacks for 65 yards.
Sadly, Height will be concentrating on the approaching NFL Draft and won’t be playing for Texas Tech the following year.
Although the former Red Raiders great will be missed in the defensive lineup, he seems prepared to take his skills to the next level.
Height has scheduled top-30 visits with seven possible NFL teams, according to sources. Dallas is one of the teams listed as hosting Height, which is fantastic news for supporters of the Red Raiders and Cowboys.
Aside from the in-state tie, numerous other elite clubs are showing an interest in him.
The San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and New England Patriots are said to be on the entire list of teams.
Three of the seven franchises advanced to the postseason last year, one of which was the Pats, who finished second in the Super Bowl. Furthermore, all but one have secured a playoff berth in the previous four seasons.
After a visit to the NFL Combine, Height’s stock appeared to have solidified, making him a predicted Day 1 to Day 2 pick when he entered the NFL Draft process.
He displayed his physical advantage during the pre-draft exhibition with a 39-inch vertical jump and a 4. 64 40-yard dash time.
In the most recent predictions, Height is placed between the third round of the draught by the majority of mock drafts. However, given the great deal of interest surrounding the league, he might be able to move up in the rankings.
As the name implies, a top-30 trip is an official visit for a prospect to one of the 32 NFL teams, and each team is restricted to only 30 visits for their most promising potential draft picks.
The actual desire to recruit Height is demonstrated by these clubs’ usage of a valuable top-30 slot on Height.
Even if the list is currently extensive, the remaining 32 teams have till the April deadline to schedule a meeting with Height.
Between April 23 and 25 in Pittsburgh, when the NFL Draft officially begins, Height will discover his genuine new home among a number of possible suitors.
