Texas Tech has announced a $25 million gift from former letter-winner Cody Campbell in support of a master plan for its football program and the south end zone at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Currently in the design stage of the south end zone project, Texas Tech has discussed various concepts such as a field-level club, additional premium seating options, recruiting space, and a letterman’s lounge, but has not yet developed a cost estimate for the south end zone facility. In recognition of the largest one-time gift to the athletics department, the playing field at Jones AT&T Stadium will be called Cody Campbell Field.

Campbell, a member of the university’s board of regents, earned multiple All-Big 12 and Academic All-Big 12 honors as a Texas Tech offensive lineman and spent two seasons with the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts following his collegiate career.

“It is such a tremendous example for the Red Raider family to have one of our own former student-athletes give back to his alma mater in such a manner like the Campbell family,” said Texas Tech president Lawrence Schovanec. “Regent Campbell defines ‘from here, it’s possible,’ and to him and his family, we are deeply grateful for his generous financial contribution and his leadership as a regent.”
