2020

Heading into the 2020 season, Colombi was expected to be named Utah State's starting quarterback after previous starter Jordan Love was drafted in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers.[1] In July 2020, Colombi announced that he would be transferring to Texas Tech, joining former Utah State head coach Matt Wells and offensive coordinator David Yost, just days after Utah quarterback Jason Shelley announced he would transferring to Utah State.[2][3] The following month, Colombi was granted an eligibility waiver by the NCAA that allowed him to play for the 2020 season.[4]

Colombi made two appearances for Texas Tech in relief of starter Alan Bowman; for three quarters on October 3 against Kansas State and for one quarter against Iowa State a week later. Between the two relief appearances, Colombi finished 40-of-54 passes for 359 yards and 3 touchdowns along with 51 rushing yards.[5] Colombi made his first collegiate start on October 24 when Texas Tech played West Virginia after Bowman struggled during the season. In his first start, Colombi threw for 169 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another touchdown in the 34–27 victory.[6]
