Throughout his college career, Romello Height bounced around a bit. Between starting his career for the Auburn Tigers, really getting it launched with the USC Trojans, and then continuing it on with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Height thrived just about everywhere he went. 

But when he got to Lubbock and had the chance to play in Shiel Wood’s defensive system, things drastically improved for Height. And so, Height played a devastatingly terrifying role for the Texas Tech Red Raiders as he went around the Big 12 and got the chance to chase down quarterbacks all over the place. 

He became one of the most disruptive pass rushers in the country and was by far one of the most impressive pass rushers in the Big 12 this past season.

As we get closer and closer to the NFL Draft, you absolutely have to watch what Height did to the Big 12’s quarterbacks for the Red Raiders. 

Against the Kansas Jayhawks, Height had six tackles and two sacks, which certainly helped the Red Raiders win in such a dominant way. On the road at West Virginia, Height had two tackles and two sacks. In the College Football Playoff against the Oregon Ducks, Height was active and racked up five tackles and a sack.

He was all over the place always at all times. 

Through the entire season, Height managed to record 38 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and then 10 sacks. Along with that, Height had 13 quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and also a pass breakup.

There’s no way that offensive coordinators didn’t go crazy trying to account for him. And really, partnering him with Lee Hunter and David Bailey was something of a cheat code for the Red Raiders this past season. Now all three of them are headed to the NFL Draft, looking to make an impact at the next level.
