"Meet The Two-Deep" is an exclusive daily feature at texastech.com designed to allow Red Raider Nation to connect with this year's football team. The players in this feature made the official "two-deep" following spring practices, which means they will be competing for a starting spot when Texas Tech opens the 2011 football season at home against Texas State on Sept. 3. Check-in each morning at 10 a.m. (CT) on texastech.com and get to know a different member of your Red Raider football team.

"The fans. I just love the fans, the fans are crazy. I like the atmosphere. I like just playing for Tech."
Is there a motto or phrase you live by?
"Every day, every play."
What is your personal goal for this season?
"Hopefully to start, that is a big thing. Just make plays all the time and just represent myself."
Do you have any hidden talents?
"I can run the ball. If I get an interception or a fumble or something like that then I am going to do something with it. I'm going to excite people and show people what I can do."
Who are some of the major influences in your life, both on and off the field?
"My mom and dad and coaches, but mainly my mom and dad."
What has been the biggest difference for you personally from your first year at Tech to where you are now in your career?
