Texas Tech has landed a fourth transfer in its 2026 class, if he is deemed eligible to play.

The Red Raiders secured a commitment from UCF transfer forward Jamichael Stillwell, according to On3's Joe Tipton. The fifth-year senior also announced his intention to sign with the team on social media.

Texas Tech would be Stillwell's fifth school in five seasons, and as things stand, he is out of eligibility. The NCAA changed its eligibility rules earlier this year to allow players to play five seasons over five years, but it did not grandfather in players who had already used up their eligibility prior to the change. Stillwell is among 16 athletes currently suing the NCAA seeking an injunction to be able to play a fifth college season.

Stillwell was an impact player for UCF last season, averaging 11.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 50.4% from the field and 30.8% from beyond the arc. He was a particularly strong presence on the offensive glass, where he became the first forward in program history to grab over 100 offensive rebounds.

Prior to UCF, Stillwell played at Milwaukee, Butler Community College (in El Dorado, Kansas) and Miami Dade College. He would join guards Cruz Davis, Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn, and Damarrion Dennis in Texas Tech's transfer class.
