"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.

What goes through your mind when running onto the field with the team on a gameday?
"On gameday, I wasn't here on gameday this year but on the spring game I was hyped. I was ready to play. I was ready to do something good on the field."
What is your favorite thing about being a Red Raider?
"My favorite thing now is just being around all the teammates and stuff and the coaches."
Is there a motto or phrase you live by?
"Get better everyday."
What is your personal goal for this season?
"My personal goal is to do good every game on and off the field. Try to get a ring."
Do you have any hidden talents?
"Not really. I like to think that when I'm on the field it is hard to stop me."
Who are some of the major influences in your life, both on and off the field?
"Off the field, it would be my dad. My dad was always behind me and always gives me support wherever I go. On the field, again my dad because every time I do something good I look at him and he always gives me a thumbs up or something."
What has been the biggest difference for you personally from your first year at Tech to where you are now in your career?
"The coaches and some of the players. The quarterback-wise he was a sophomore, he will be a junior this year with me so I will have both years with him because I just transferred here. Plus I think I'm field fast."
Give your personal message to the Red Raider Nation.
"Red Raiders get ready for this season! It will be nice to y'all out there."
