“The weekend was pretty good. I went up there for my mom to check it out, because she didn’t get to check it out whenever I went on the official visit.

I thought they played a really good game, they played really well on both sides of the ball.”

(Me and the Tech coaches) have been talking since December, but I just met the coaches in person this weekend."

"I had a great time. I really enjoyed the facilities and atmosphere. The hospitality was awesome, everyone was welcoming and I had a great time in the stadium getting to take in the fans and the game.

I mainly talked with Coach Farmer. I interacted with several coaches throughout the night and they were all very positive and welcoming. I’m very early in this process so we just talked about my progression over the next few years of HS."

"Walking into the indoor field was pretty cool, made me wanna put pads on and start practicing on my own. It was also awesome to be on the field and see the players warm up and get ready for the game, almost wanted to go out there and just start playing. Talking to my guide was great, it felt like he was a close friend. It was nice talking to the coaches and getting to know how they see the game.

All in all the visit and the game was an incredible experience and I would do this again if I could and I could definitely call Texas Tech my home."

"It was an amazing experience and by far one the coolest atmospheres I have ever been a part of. The coaches there did an amazing job getting us involved in the game day experience.

My favorite part of the entire visit was when I got to talk to the players and you could tell that they are all about the team and treat each other like family, and that’s something that I have always wanted to be a part of."

"(The visit) was good. If they offer me I'm 1000% in.

I talked to a lot of coaches and their message was to keep grinding."

"I really enjoyed the visit from the start. I got to meet some of the coaches and the hospitality was amazing. They treated my mother and me incredibly well while giving us an amazing experience at my first Raiders game.

I was able to meet Coach Farmer, Luke Wells, Davidson, and Pehrson along with many GA’s. Their main message was that they liked my film and to continue working this season and continue to put my film out. They also told me to make it back out to another game this fall."

"The visit was great and the game was amazing. I liked the culture and the hospitality. Overall it was great.

It was great (talking to the coaches), very friendly. I felt welcomed to the program and they mostly told me to just keep working on my craft and to keep my head up"
