Texas Tech Junior Day: "Being back on campus, it was really electric. The coaching staff and some of the new hires like coach (Shiel) Wood and coach (Rob) Greene, those people and coach (Joey) McGuire, just how they stand out and just the whole coaching staff. Like I really believe in what they say and just how truthful they are with the kids and just how they are off the field. Even the players say they're the same person every day that they say they are. I really believe in what they're pouring into and the facilities, like the new facility is great. Unreal."
