Texas Tech's Bryson Donnell runs with the ball during practice, Friday, Aug. 5, 2022, at the Sports Performance Center.

The NCAA transfer portal reopened Tuesday for a 15-day period, and three more Texas Tech football players have their names entered.

Running backs Bryson Donnell and Anquan Willis have their names in the portal, a Tech athletics spokesman said. Defensive tackle Tre’Darius Brown also announced his plans to enter.

Neither Willis nor Donnell appeared likely to get much playing time for the Red Raiders in 2024. Tech returns Tahj Brooks, the FBS’s fourth-leading rusher last season with 1,538 yards, and top backup Cam’Ron Valdez, who has 471 yards rushing over his first three seasons.

Tech coach Joey McGuire also has spoken highly of Cameron Dickey, a freshman from Austin Crockett who enrolled in January and has gone through spring practice.

Donnell will be a third-year sophomore in 2024. He’s played in 16 games his first two seasons, mostly as a regular on special teams last year, and carried 20 times for 87 yards.

Willis will be a redshirt freshman in 2024. He signed in December 2022 out of Wichita Falls Rider, joined the program in January 2023 and didn’t get into a game last season.
