Being recruited by Texas Tech: "They've been recruiting me for about a month or two now. I've known coach Buff (Kellen Buffington) for a minute because he used to be down in Dallas doing TB5Reports so he followed me like maybe two months ago. After the initial contact period we just went from there."
