Longview OL/DL Broderick Washington became the 22nd East Texan in the 2015 class to commit to a Division I FBS program Tuesday, when the Lobos' star pledged to Texas Tech after receiving an offer from the Red Raiders earlier Tuesday morning.

The commitment was first reported by ESPN.com, and later confirmed by ETSN.fm.

Washington, who starts on the offensive line for Longview, was offered by Texas Tech as a defensive lineman, which speaks to the standout's athletic ability. He is the second Longview player to commit to an FBS program, joining running back JaMycal Hasty, a Baylor pledge.

Texas Tech, the first Power-5 conference school to offer, was selected by Washington over other FBS offers from Arkansas State, Houston, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico, North Texas, ULL and UTSA.

Washington is the first East Texas recruit in 2015 to commit to Texas Tech. The Red Raiders currently have offers out to two uncommitted East Texans in the class -- Gilmer athlete Kris Boyd and Lufkin athlete KeKe Coutee.

Texas Tech signed Whitehouse quarterback Patrick Mahomes out of last year's class, and has a standing offer out to ex-Chapel Hill safety Joseph Clark, who is gray-shirting while recovering from multiple knee surgeries.

The Red Raiders currently have six East Texans on their roster -- kicker Ryan Bustin (Kilgore), receiver Dylan Cantrell (Whitehouse), receiver Reginald Davis (Tenaha), Mahomes, linebacker Pete Robertson (Longview), and receiver Dominique Wheeler (Crockett).

Texas Tech. which has begun this season 2-1, opens Big 12 play Thursday night at Oklahoma State.

Washington and Longview (1-2) play at Pine Tree (0-3) on Friday night in the District 15-5A opener for both teams.
