James Brady and Tomisin Alausa were crowned 2022 homecoming royalty.
James Brady of Lubbock and Tomisin Alausa of Plano were crowned Texas Tech University's 2022 homecoming king and queen today (Oct. 22) during the Texas Tech vs. West Virginia game at Jones AT&T Stadium.
Brady, an agricultural communications major, represents Phi Delta Theta.
“Winning homecoming king at Texas Tech is very special for me,” Brady said. “It is a great honor to represent my university in all facets where the homecoming king is involved. It was also very special to see my family – especially my grandfather, who came to Texas Tech in 1962 – watch me win as a third-generation Red Raider. I love this school, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to even be considered for homecoming king.”
Alausa, a journalism and public relations and strategic communication management major, represents Chi Omega.
“Winning, to me, means that I can show students what ‘From Here, It's Possible' means especially as a minority at a big school,” Alausa said. “Though I am only one member of Texas Tech's Black community, I have made the Texas Tech experience the best that it could be by getting involved. Winning means I can be a role model to girls who look like me in hopes of growing Texas Tech's Black student community. I can give back to a school that has given me more than I could've dreamed of.”
The student body voted for the winners after the homecoming court was announced Friday (Oct. 21) at Rowdy Raider Rally.

A new era of excellence is dawning at Texas Tech University as it stands on the cusp of being one of the nation's premier research institutions.
Research and enrollment numbers are at record levels, which cement Texas Tech's commitment to attracting and retaining quality students. In fall 2020, the university achieved a goal more than a decade in the making, reaching a total student population of more than 40,000. In 2018, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education again placed Texas Tech among its top doctoral universities in the nation in the “Very High Research Activity” category. Texas Tech is one of 94 public institutions nationally and 131 overall to achieve this prestigious recognition.
Quality students need top-notch faculty. Texas Tech is home to a diverse, highly revered
pool of educators who excel in teaching, research and service. The university strives
to foster an environment that celebrates student accomplishment above all else. Texas Tech is large enough to provide the best in facilities and academics but prides
itself on being able to focus on each student individually.
The momentum for excellence at Texas Tech has never been greater.
