HIGH SCHOOL
PERSONAL
- Emerged late in the season as a top pass rusher with several notable performances in Big 12 play … appeared in 11 games overall with one start, which came in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl versus Arkansas … did not see any game action in the first two games of the season against Abilene Christian (8/31) and at Washington State (9/7).Â
- Finished with nine tackles, which included 3.5 for a loss, all sacks … added a quarterback hurry and forced fumble late in the season … made tackles in five different games against Arizona (10/5), TCU (10/26), Oklahoma State (11/23), West Virginia (11/30) and Arkansas (12/27) in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl … recorded a sack in three of those contests.Â
- On the four plays that created his 3.5 sacks, three of those came on third down that forced either a punt or a field goal … in the lone exception, the sack caused a fumble recovery and takeaway … the Red Raiders followed with a touchdown on their next drive following his sacks versus TCU and West Virginia - three in total.Â
- Credited with 130 defensive snaps by Pro Football Focus and an additional 60 snaps on special teams, primary on either kickoff return or punt return … bulk of snaps defensively (103) came over the final four games of the season … awarded a 71.7 overall grade by PFF after creating 13 pressures with four sacks, two quarterback hits and seven hurries.Â
- Made one of the biggest plays in the Red Raiders’ win at Arizona (10/5) with a late fourth-quarter sack for his lone tackle … found Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita for an eight-yard loss on 3rd-and-9 to force the Wildcats into a timeout and then a field goal … the Red Raiders recovered the ensuing onside kick to hold on for a 28-22 victory.Â
- Shared a sack at TCU (10/26) with Travon McAlpine, which came on 3rd-and-17 early in the second quarter, forcing a TCU punt deep in its own territory … the Red Raiders scored three plays later on a Tahj Brooks four-yard touchdown run following a 44-yard reception to Caleb Douglas ... recorded two tackles in the win at Oklahoma State (11/23), including one that came as part of kickoff coverage.Â
- Set a new career high with four tackles in the regular-season finale against West Virginia (11/30) … total included a career-high 2.0 tackles for loss and 2.0 sacks as well as his first career forced fumble … first sack ended West Virginia’s opening drive of the second quarter, forcing a punt followed by a Tahj Brooks two-yard touchdown run for a 13-3 lead … later sacked quarterback Garret Greene again just before halftime, knocking the ball out for Brenden Jordan to recover in West Virginia territory … similar to earlier in the game, Brooks found the end zone from two yards out on the next drive to push Texas Tech’s lead to 35-3 at the break … credited with a career-high 40 defensive snaps in the rout.Â
- Earned his first career start in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl matchup versus Arkansas (12/27) … made one tackle and created one quarterback hurry over his 26 defensive snaps, the second-highest total of his career.

- Appeared in all 13 games during first season as a Red Raider … considered one of Texas Tech’s top special teams performers throughout the season.

- Inserted on defense in three different games against Tarleton State (9/16) and Houston (9/3) as well as at Baylor (10/7) … recorded five tackles overall with two at West Virginia (9/23) and one stop versus Tarleton, Houston and Baylor … lone tackle against Tarleton went for a two-yard sack, the first tackle for loss or sack of his career.
