Texas Tech official visit recap: "As soon as I stepped on campus, I felt at home, especially with all of the relationships I had built with the coaches since being recruited. This was my third visit there, and I was pretty familiar with everything that had gone on. So, this official visit was me getting to know everything and all the new places there. Lubbock is a special place and a wonderful community. To all the people who say it isn't, they need to go check it out. What really stood out was the relationship between the coaches and the players; you can tell it is really strong, and they play for each other and go hard. I feel like Coach (Joey) McGuire is the most hands-on coach in college football. I talked to him every day I was up there, and he really has something special going on up there."
