Cambridge arrived at Texas Tech prior to the 2023-24 season, but only played in 14 games during two seasons with the Red Raiders due to injury. He received a medical hardship waiver, which opened the door for a seventh season of collegiate basketball.

In addition, the 6-foot-6 senior is also a COVID-year athlete, meaning he already had an extra year of eligibility.

Last season, Devan Cambridge averaged 5.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game. Before heading to Lubbock, he played three seasons at Auburn and one at Arizona State.

His best season came in his lone year with the Sun Devils, when he recorded 353 points, 193 rebounds and 28 blocks.
