Texas Tech’s quarterback depth has taken another hit.

True freshman walk-on Vincent Testaverde has decided to transfer in an attempt to be closer to his hometown of Tampa, Fla., according to Tech Athletics spokesman Blayne Beal. Testaverde, the son of former NFL quarterback Vinny Testaverde, appeared in one game this season.

The Red Raiders enter spring workouts with sophomore Davis Webb coming off left (non-throwing) shoulder surgery and with true freshman Patrick Mahomes participating in baseball. Webb, according to Tech, is expected to make a full recovery in time for spring workouts.

A shoulder and ankle injury to Webb and a head injury to Mahomes forced Testaverde into Tech’s 34-13 home loss to Texas on Nov. 1. He completed 15 of 26 passes (57.7 percent) for 116 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception.

The Red Raiders had received a commitment from five-star quarterback and Stephenville senior Jarrett Stidham to enroll a semester early and participate in spring workouts, but he committed to Baylor last week. Their pursuit of three-star Ben Hicks, who chose SMU, also failed.

The team is adding transfer Nic Shimonek, who redshirted last year at Iowa and sat out this season at Tech due to NCAA transfer rules. He completed 160 of 252 passes (63.5 percent) for 2,714 yards and 33 touchdowns in his senior season at Corsicana Mildred in 2012.

True freshman and walk-on Payne Sullins was the No. 4 quarterback this season for Tech. His back-up was wide receiver Reginald Davis.

The Red Raiders lost five quarterbacks who had eligibility remaining, including two who had been on scholarship, between December 2013 to April of this year.
