Romello Height is heading to Mobile, Alabama for the 2026 Senior Bowl, and if you've watched Texas Tech football this past season, you know exactly why he’s earned the invite. After a winding college journey that took him through four different programs, Height saved his best for last in Lubbock - and now he’s got a real shot to make his presence felt in front of NFL scouts.
Let’s rewind a bit. Height began his college career at Auburn, then transferred to USC, followed by a season at Georgia Tech before landing at Texas Tech for his sixth and final year of eligibility.
That kind of path isn’t typical, but it’s not unheard of in today’s college football landscape. What matters is what he did with that final chapter - and Height made it count.
In 2025, Height became the heartbeat of the Red Raiders’ defensive front. He didn’t just flash talent - he delivered consistent, game-changing production.
With 38 total tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks, Height was a nightmare for opposing offenses. Whether it was linemen trying to anchor against his burst, tight ends attempting to chip him, or quarterbacks scrambling to escape, Height made life miserable for anyone lined up across from him.
And it wasn’t just the numbers. It was the timing of his plays.
Height had a knack for showing up in the biggest moments - third downs, red zone stands, late-game drives. He was the kind of player who could tilt the field with a single snap, and that kind of impact doesn’t go unnoticed.
Texas Tech rode that defensive edge to a 12-win season, and Height was a huge part of that success. Now, he’s one of five Red Raiders headed to the Senior Bowl - a chance to show NFL evaluators that his skill set translates to the next level. This week in Mobile isn’t the final word on his draft stock, but it’s a major opportunity to compete against top-tier talent and prove he belongs.
For Height, the Senior Bowl is more than just another game. It’s a stage.
A chance to line up against future pros, take coaching from NFL staffs, and show he can thrive in a pro-style environment. He’s already shown he can adapt - four schools in six years will teach you that.
But now it’s about showing he can dominate.
And if his 2025 tape is any indication, Romello Height is ready to do just that.
