Texas Tech kicker Reese Burkhardt’s availability for the team’s upcoming bowl game is uncertain. Burkhardt, who serves as the Red Raiders’ primary kickoff specialist, missed the Independence Bowl last season due to injury. His performance throughout the 2023 season was solid, recording a 62.5% touchback rate on 64 kickoffs and averaging 68.1 yards per attempt. While there are no major NCAA awards to his name, his consistency makes him a valuable asset. Texas Tech has yet to confirm whether he will be available for the bowl game
