"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?
"It's just a real neat experience, the first time I ran out onto the field it was just crazy, with all the fans going, just wild, and just all the fans there, and seeing your family up in the stands supporting you and just running out on the field with all the guys you work hard with all week, just getting ready for the game."
What is your favorite thing about being a Red Raider?
"Just all the guys on the team, really, you know, we're a real close group, just going into the locker room everyday, we work hard but after we're are done we are just a bunch of friends hanging out in the locker room."
What is your personal goal for this season?
"My personal goal, (Seth) Doege pretty much got the starting position on lock, so you know, I've just got to work hard, and if I can just work as hard as I can and push him to be better it'll make all of us better."
Do you have any hidden talents?
"I can juggle, pretty well."
What has been the biggest difference for you personally from your first year at Tech to where you are now in your career?
"You know, just the hard work we are putting in, you know everyday it feels like we are working harder and harder, everyone is pushing each other even harder just because, you know, we had a good season last year but we want to get better and better each year so everyone is just pushing each other harder and harder every year."
Give your personal message to Red Raider Nation.
"Guns Up!
