The student body voted for the winners after the Homecoming Court was announced Friday, Oct. 10 at Rowdy Raider Rally.
Arrott, a personal financial planning and management major, represents Beta Theta Pi.
“From tossing tortillas to tossing my hat in the ring for Homecoming, representing Texas Tech University as Homecoming King means so much more than just a title,” Arrott said. “It is a full-circle moment that honors the younger version of myself who once sat in those stands, looking up to the traditions, the spirit, and the pride that make this place special. What started as admiration has grown into a deep appreciation for the university that shaped me, and now I have the chance to represent the very pride that inspired me years ago.”
Boehning, an agribusiness major, represents Pi Beta Phi.
“ Being crowned this year’s Homecoming Queen is truly one of the greatest honors of my life,” Boehning said. “As someone who’s been a proud West Texan all my life, Texas Tech has always represented more than just a school; it’s the heartbeat of this community I love so much. To represent the past, present and future of our Red Raider family means standing for everything that makes this place special: pride, grit, and most importantly, its people. Texas Tech is in such an exciting moment of its story, and I love getting to be a small part of that momentum, a symbol of where we’ve been and where we’re headed.”
