Texas Tech's 2019 recruiting class has taken a major hit.
DeSoto wide receiver La'Vontae Shenault backed out of his verbal pledge to the Red Raiders on Tuesday night.
Shenault announced his decision via Twitter.
I would like to thank the current and former staffs at Texas Tech, but at this time I will be decommitting and opening my recruiting .

Shenault originally picked Texas Tech back in June. His decommitment comes a few weeks after the firing of former head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who is now the offensive coordinator at USC.
