Bridgeport's Daugherty leaving Tech By Troy Phillips Star-Telegram Staff Writer Texas Tech third-string quarterback Phillip Daugherty, a sophomore from Bridgeport, has decided to transfer to an NCAA Division I program outside the state, Bridgeport High coach Danny Henson said. Henson said Daugherty, who threw for a Class 3A-record 10,136 career yards in high school, has met with Tech coach Mike Leach and ironed out all the details of his transfer. Leach was expected to address Daugherty’s departure after Tech’s workout ended Monday evening, a university media-relations official said. Daugherty arrived at Tech as heralded true freshman in 2003 but redshirted that season. Because of that, he will lose a season of eligibility when he transfers but will have two seasons remaining. Last spring, Daugherty battled Harrell and fifth-year senior Cody Hodges to get a leg up on Tech’s starting job. Leach isn’t expected to name a starter until later this week or next week. So far, Harrell and Hodges have shared an equal number of plays in fall camp, and Leach has said both are running even right now. Daugherty has had no work with Tech’s first team. He had a chance to move up when Harrell suffered a non-football ankle injury in the spring, but Harrell has since caught up and passed him in the coaches’ eyes. ``Phillip just doesn’t have a place there,’’ Henson said. ``I think Tech would love for Hodges to have great year and let Graham be his understudy. Then they’ll have a quarterback who will be there a while and not just one year. Graham is the one they’ve got tagged to be their future.’’ Henson said he’s made calls to colleges outside Texas and outside the Big 12 on Daugherty’s behalf but wouldn’t say which ones. He said Leach is helping Daugherty all he can, but Tech won’t release him to transfer to a school in Texas, in the conference or to a school on the Raiders’ future schedules.
