Friday can only mean one thing for the discriminating Red Raider fan: time for another edition of the Red Raider Confidential. As always, we begin this session with the ground rules. Everything that is reported in the Red Raider Confidential must stay well… confidential. That's the way this deal works. The Red Raider Confidential is posted in the premium forum to ensure that this information stays exclusively within the Raider Nation.
This will continue to be successful only if everyone helps out, so let’s all work together and keep the discussions limited to this board.
Jerod talks Tech and more
Talk about an athlete. DeSoto defensive end Tony Jerod could play many sports, but has decided to put all of his concentration into one. Even though it’s football that Jerod looks to be a part of at the next level, it’s soccer that is currently taking up a lot of his time.
“I play defense, sweeper, and goalie,” said Jerod. “I like sweeper better because you get to do stuff. Sometimes as a goalie you really don’t get to do anything. We have a lot of good players. We have a kid on our team who plays for the national soccer team. I always wanted to play, so I’m just taking advantage of it now.”
He hasn’t been able to kick around the soccer ball at any point before because he’s always played basketball since middle school.
“I don’t know why I didn’t play this year. I really wanted to, and I still want to because all my boys wanted me to. But I don’t want to get hurt.
Meanwhile, the 6-foot-5, 255-pound lineman is enjoying a much needed break from the recruiting process. The dead period means that the four-star prospect has not heard his phone ring from a coaching staff until ’09. But that didn’t stop Jerod from fitting in two visits before the period came. One of those was to Tech.
After talking to many coaches for quite some time, the former A&M solid commitment adds that he appreciate the way the Tech coaching staff has approached his situation.
“They were just giving me everything real. They weren’t going to beat around the bush, they were just going to tell me what’s up. It was my decision and they wanted me to make the right one even if I didn’t come there.”
It was mentioned in the update earlier this week about the impact that current sophomore defensive end Brandon Williams had on Jerod. It needs to be well noted that Williams was the first name that Jerod brought up and the starting d-end left a good impression with the senior prospect.
“He was real good. We got along right off the bat. He told me to just forget everything else, but just want to play and be there. They need a couple more people. They’re this close. They’re really close. They just need a couple more players that can play.”
This February signee can taste a Big 12 Championship from the Red Raiders and Williams made him believe that he was one of the finishing touches in this objective. And Williams wasn’t the only one who had an impact on Jerod.
“I talked to Coach Ruffin McNeill, the defensive coordinator. He’s a real cool guy and he really liked me. A lot. He told me he loved me twice. He was serious. It wasn’t like ‘I love you’, it was like ‘I love you’. I was like, ‘man’.”
Jerod felt the compassion and honesty coming from the defensive line coach immediately. He saw a coach that would do anything for him and help him become the best he could be.
“Yeah, he’s a real good guy. From what I’ve seen so far, he’s a real good guy. I spent a little time with him. I was in his office for 30 minutes twice. I spent about an hour with him. He would be one of those guys that would make it fun to play. It wouldn’t be a job but something that you’d like to do.”
Then, of course, it was time to meet the head coach.
“Coach Leach trips me out. The first day we went to this steak place. I didn’t pay attention when he was ordering his steak. But I was eating and I looked over and I saw his steak was pink. Like, it was not done. I had to stop eating because it spoiled my appetite. I really don’t think it was done. He was real cool though. He didn’t this little funny card trick. The players say it’s his signature card trick, he does it all the time.”
And behind any four-star prospect recruitment to Texas Tech, of course lies Quality Control Director Dennis Simmons, who has put much effort into displaying Tech’s need for Jerod.
“I like Dennis. I actually spent almost the whole day with him. I went to his house. He came to my house last week. It was really like a visit with my mom. I left and came back and forth. He was talking to my mom. I really haven’t talked to her. She liked him and she called me this weekend and was asking me. She asked me how I felt about Texas Tech when I was with the Louisville coaches. I had to tell her that I needed to call her back.”
Speaking of Louisville, that was the other school that Jerod visited before the dead period. While he enjoyed the fact that Tech has room on the depth chart for him and he could fit in, the Cardinals looked as if he would instantly be the anchor of their struggling line.
“They have tackles and linebackers playing defensive end. They had a point where they had a defensive end playing but his shoulders were messed up and he was having to play in a two point stance. I don’t know, but they really need defense ends.”
It still seems that the Red Raiders are a favorite and Jerod has no problem admitting that either.
“Yeah, when I’m deciding they’re going to be up in my one or two where I’m picking from.”
Jerod has future visits in the plan to both Kansas State, USC, and possibly A&M although he will not come out and say that as of yet. The four-star recruit kept finding ways to bring it back to Tech though.
“I’m just going to keep going and doing what I’m doing. I’m just going to see how it goes. Texas Tech when they get another chance I think they’re going to come back again.”
His parents have been nothing but supportive throughout the process.
“They’re just going to leave it up to me and wherever I decide they’re going to support me. Just to go where your heart is and where you feel you’re going to fit. I’m the one that has to play four years so go where you’re going to enjoy the people and play.”
And a timeline?
“I don’t have a date or anything like that. Just whenever I feel like I got the place where I want to go, I’m going to let them know.”
It should also be noted that Jerod is not currently qualified academically, but it is not considered a concern as coaching staff’s are expecting him to get there as he is very close.
“Grades are going pretty good, I’m maintaining it. I’m really not sure until semester grades come up as to what my GPA is.”
Look for Tech to be in this one till the end, and the coaching staff will continue to go all out with this one.
Mainord’s relentlessness impresses Lynn
For Tech legacy D’Anton Lynn, things are changing in a hurry. Lynn thought he was all set to become a Penn State Nittany Lion in February, thanks to a stellar recruiting effort by PSU assistant coach Brian Norwood. However, now that Norwood has accepted the defensive coordinator position at Baylor, Lynn isn’t sure he wants to spend his college years at Penn State after all.
“See, it’s basically like this,” he explained. “I would have probably never even visited Penn State if it hadn’t been for my relationship with Coach Norwood. It’s just so far away and everything and he was the main reason I went out there in the first place. So now that he’s gone, I’m not exactly sure if it’s still the best place for me. Now that he’s gone, I guess I’ll have to see if I’m still comfortable there.”
Right now, it looks like Lynn is taking a second look at his parents’ alma mater, Texas Tech, and Baylor.
“I’m going to take those visits to Tech and maybe Baylor,” he explained. “And if I still feel comfortable with Penn State then that’s that, but if not, I’ll de-commit.”
As far as Tech goes right now, Lynn’s tone has changed significantly since this summer, a feat that appears to have more than a little bit to do with his relationship with Tech’s safeties coach, Carlos Mainord.
“Coach Mainord has been by here once a week every week that he’s been allowed to for like the last month,” said Lynn. “Sometimes Coach Mitchell comes too, but they’ve been all over me. Coach Mainord and I have a good bond. I’m pretty sure he coached there while my dad was there too, and I know he’s a great coach.”
Lynn is also very familiar with Lubbock due to his parents’ ties to the town and mentioned on more than one occasion that his mom wouldn’t mind if he stayed a little closer to home.
While things could always change, Tech looks to have more than a fighting chance at this point.
Askew Believes Petrino
One of the most pressing questions on the minds of those who have followed the coaching saga that is Bobby Petrino is whether or not his credibility is shot. Well, it depends on who you talk to, but according to defensive tackle and Arkansas commit Lavunce Askew, his credibility is intact.
“I think he was just trying to find somewhere he’ll be happy and I can’t blame him for that,” explained Askew. “I mean, that’s what I’m doing too isn’t it? How could he be happy in the NFL when none of those dudes would listen to him? I mean, it’s gotta be hard to tell them what to do when you’re practically their same age, you know?”
Askew claims that Petrino told him why he left and Askew says he is fine with Petrino’s reasoning.
“He told me the whole story about everything and I believe him,” said the Arkansas native. “I think this is his dream job and I’ll bet you that he doesn’t leave now.”
When asked what Petrino told him, Askew’s reply was somewhat odd.
“I can’t tell you,” said Askew. “I can’t say. That’s really all I can say is that I can’t talk about it.”
While it certainly isn’t good news for Tech that Askew is buying what Petrino is selling, there is some good news for the Red Raiders.
“Well, Coach Rocker told me he’s going to go to Ole Miss after all,” he explained. “I don’t know what the deal is, it was kinda weird, but he’s going to Ole Miss.”
If Askew ends up at Tech, which seems a little less likely than it did a few weeks ago, it could very well have a lot to do with the fact that he was so close to Rocker. He claims he will not consider Ole Miss at all, but did mention that his relationship with Lincoln Riley is comparable to the one he has with Rocker.
Two more DeSoto prospects in the mix?
The Red Raiders have been very active in their pursuit of DeSoto’s Tony Jerod recently and it appears that Brian Mitchell’s multiple visits to Jerod’s school might be a factor with a few of his teammates as well.
According to Jerod, four-star defensive back Adrian Bushell is back in the mix for Texas Tech and is expecting to visit Lubbock in mid-January.
“He’s going on an official visit on the 18th, I think. I haven’t ever talked to him about Tech. I talked to him about my official visit. I really couldn’t tell. He was talking about his too ‘cause he went to Oklahoma State,” said Jerod.
According to a source at DeSoto when Mitchell and Dennis Simmons were there to see Jerod they saw Bushell come out of the coaches offices to talk to them and ask if he could visit Texas Tech. Mitchell’s response according to the source was that he’d been trying to get in touch with Bushell for months and that he would love for him to visit.
Jerod also indicated that standout tailback Cyrus Gray might also make a visit to Lubbock along with Bushell.
“He (Cyrus) said he was thinking about taking an official visit to Tech. He told me that. He said he didn’t know, he was going to see. I think he might go with Adrian.”
”Me and Cyrus, he went to Louisville with me last weekend. We want to go to the same school. If we can, that’ll be real good because that’s been my running back since forever.”
We’ll see what shakes out but if the Red Raiders land any of the three DeSoto prospects it would be considered a job well done. Stay tuned.
Quick Hits with Blake Kelley
On his connection with fellow Blinn alum Jake Johnson:
Jake Johnson and I played on the same team in college. I talked to Jake about it and he told me how nice it was on his visit. I told him that every receiver’s dream was to go to Tech. I was so interested in it and then my interest got even higher because I knew that if I went there then I would already know someone there.
On his official visit to Tech:
I went on my official visit last week. I got in on a Wednesday and got back on a Thursday. They flew me in, and got me applying for school. They showed me the campus, fed me real good, and then took me to watch practice. I watched it and got a feel how guys play. Afterwards, I was able to hang out with some guys. This was my first time to go to Tech. I had never even flown before or even gone this far away from home before. Tech is the farthest I’ve been because all the other visits I did in high school were JUCO’s or D-II’s and they just came and picked me up in a van.
On Tech’s facilities:
I was in awe. I’ve never seen anything like this because high school was not that good and Blinn was even worse. I thought everything was awesome. Everything was clean and new. This is the first program I feel like people actually support and care about them. Because the other two places really didn’t have very nice stuff at all.
On his first impression of Lubbock:
I liked it. It was real nice out there. Everything is a lot more flat than I’m used to. Beaumont has the hills and big city. And then you look around Lubbock and it’s a bunch of dirt. It’s really weird.
On Tech’s coaching staff’s thoughts about him:
At first, Coach Holgerson came and was talking to me and was telling me that I was the same size as Amendola. And I always knew in the back of my mind when I watched them play, I compared them to me. When I went up and watched them practice, it sealed the deal with my confidence. I knew that I could play with these guys. I didn’t get the opportunity out of high school, but now it’s all coming together and I have a chance to shine. I really think I can get out there and play and get a scholarship. After seeing those guys play, I really feel that way. Coach Holgerson said he likes me and has seen me play. He tells me that he wants me to come to Tech and get after it.
On when he’ll arrive:
I’ll be up there this spring. I don’t know who my roommates will be, I have to figure that out when I get there here in a couple of weeks.
On what emotions he’s experiencing right now:
It’s great to me because all through high school all I did was watch Tech and wish I was in that offense. I would see what I did at 7-pm-7 drills and then at games we’d just run it. Every day I’ve wished that I could be strapping it up and playing with them. It feels good too because people around here are starting to hear the news. It feels good that the hard work is finally paying off even though it didn’t work out at first out of high school like I wanted it to.
On what makes him valuable:
All the coaches that have always watched me play say that it’s my speed and my routes. I remember my fastest time at Blinn was a 4.39 but all the other times were 4.4, 4.41, real low 4.4’s. I run good routes. That’s probably my best attribute. It doesn’t matter what route I have, I just find a way to get open. I think the biggest thing that helps me is when I study film, it helps me get open. I study it enough to where I know where they’re going to go before the play starts. I can get open a lot easier.
Dixon Took Care of Business
McKinner Dixon only had a few hurdles left to clear before making it back to Lubbock, and according to the star defender, those hurdles have been conquered.
“Man I knocked those finals out,” he told us on Wednesday night. “I just had to take care of business and I got the grades I needed.”
Dixon also said he can’t wait to make it into town.
“I’ll be there on like December 27th,” explained the four-star prospect. “I can’t even begin to explain what that means to me. It’s huge for me to be getting back up there.”
The Focus Of The Feature?
We reported earlier this week that former Heisman Trophy winner and Super Bowl MVP Desmond Howard of ESPN GameDay was sent to Lubbock to do a feature on Michael Crabtree. Howard spent time in Lubbock for two days and some of that time was spent watching the Red Raiders practice.
“I'm here to do an interview with Michael Crabtree, obviously one of the best players in the country,” said Howard. “ESPN sent me out here to do a feature on him that we're going to run probably on the GameDay show but you're going to see it on SportsCenter, College Football LIVE, and ESPN News, and anything else attached with ESPN outside of radio."
We’re told that Crabtree’s feature will run on the January 1st edition of GameDay.
But the question is what angle did Howard and ESPN take with Crabtree?
“Well this kid won the Biletnikoff Award as a freshman but if you like the way I look it’s because Michael edged me up, tightened my mustache up, hooked my beard up as well so he’s a heck of a barber too,” Howard told us during his stay.
It’s widely known around the football program that if you have grooming issues then Crabtree is the guy to go see so as Howard pointed out that is what will be focused on by ESPN when the feature on the 1st rolls around.

Look at ‘09
There were a couple of Texas Tech ’09 prospects who received an offer this week and also garnered all-state honors. We checked in with a few of the top recruits coming out of next year’s recruiting class for the Red Raiders and the rest of the country.
Williams accepts MVP honors
When we contacted ’09 Abilene linebacker Chris Williams last night, he couldn’t talk long as he was readying himself for a trip to the TV station.
“It’s for our local news,” said Williams. “They’re just interviewing me for the news at 10 o’clock. I’m not sure what it’s for, but probably that all-state thing.”
Williams knew exactly what the interview was about.
“I walked into the coach’s office this morning and coach told me that I got first team AP all-state MVP and defensive MVP. He was just proud of me. It was surprising because there were a lot of good people out there.”
The biased 6-foot-1, 220-pound defenseman says that even though we his highlight real of a season, he didn’t see it coming.
“I had no idea. I was just thinking I’d maybe get 2nd team all-state but I had no idea.”
The word had not spread by 8 PM last night.
“Some people have made comments, but not many. I think we’re going to talk about it tonight though so I might hear it tomorrow.
“It’s pretty sweet. It’s a big accomplishment after being all-district last year. Me and the coaches sat down and talked about getting better for next year and taking it to the next level.”
What exactly kind of level would that be?
“Possibly a level that nobody has seen in a long time if ever.”
To raise the bar for next year, Williams has an idea of some of the things he would like to focus on this off-season.
“I definitely want to get in the weight room and get a lot stronger in all areas. I want to work on all parts of my game. I don’t want to be known as the player who is better at the run and not that great at the pass. I want to be known as playing the pass better and getting back to the basics.”
This 16-year old has already garnered more attention locally and state-wide than most high school athletes ever receiver. Trying to keep his head down, along with the ego, is something else that Williams will focus on.
“I just need to keep staying humble. I’ve been keeping a good job on that. I just think that there’s been a bunch of people I’ve played with over the years that could’ve received the same award that I got.”
As for the season that the Eagle just wrapped up recently?
“It went pretty good. We definitely ended short of what we thought we knew we had. We knew we had a 16 week team. I think I told you at the beginning of the year that we’d be there and to fall a game short is the hardest part.”
After receiving an offer in the mail from Arizona State this week, Williams says that Arizona and Oregon have both been sending attention his way recently as well. But it’s a reality that Williams will have a lot more than three scholarship offers to worry about when the ’08 recruiting class comes to an end and ’09 begins.
Tech is on the mind of Walters
It was an impressive season for Frenship and their offensive line prospect Mason Walters.
“It was sweet while it lasted, it really was,” commented Walters. “It was kind of like the conclusion of my year with the upper class. It’s going to be tough because those guys have been brothers to me the last couple of years. They’ve treated me right. It’s going to be tough. We have a pretty good team coming up next year even though we have to replace our entire defense.”
We assumed that the “brothers” he spoke of included current Texas Tech commits DE Ryan Halibruton and QB Seth Doege, so what’s Walter’s feelings on the talented duo?
“I wouldn’t consider Ryan and Seth brothers. I’d consider them more like Tech recruiters,” laughed Walters. “It’s non-stop with them, man. I was hanging out with Seth tonight and he was talking to me about the colors red and black. Every time they see me they bring it up, I’m not joking. Every time I get an offer they’ll say ‘oh yeah? who offered you first?’ … ‘where am I going to school?’ … ‘who really wants you to the most?’ … it’s stuff like that all the time, it just gets really ridiculous.”
Speaking of offers, the top ’09 prospect added another offer just this week to make a grand total of four official scholarships.
“I got another offer from Arizona Wildcats. I got that the other day and that’s the only other offer. I get a lot of mail. I get quite a bit from LSU, Florida, Notre Dame, A&M, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and a lot more. Pretty much from all over.”
What about this Arizona offer? There is obviously two current staff members with the Wildcats who were members of the Tech staff this time last year.
“I hadn’t really known a lot about them. I probably knew more about their basketball team than football team until I read about them. They seem to be a little more run-to-pass than Tech.”
Walters put in a phonecall to Arizona offensive coordinator (former Tech) Sonny Dykes.
“When I talked to Sonny Dykes, he said it was the same as Tech but a little bit more run. That’s cool. That’s the kind of offense I’d want to fit into. I really didn’t talk to him for very long. He seems pretty cool. He said that he knew about me from being at Tech and being familiar with Tech and the Texas area. I called him on Monday. I think I got it in the mail over the weekend.”
Why did the 6-foot-6, 280-pound lineman feel it was necessary to give the Wildcats a call? And should fans look into this as Walters taking a special liking to Arizona?
“Any school that’s going to give me the opportunity to get a free education, I’m definitely going to take the time to consider them. It’s a huge honor and opportunity and I feel like if I don’t take the full time to consider where I should go, then I feel like I’m wasting it.”
So what about the Red Raiders? Is Mason still putting in calls with Tech?
“I try to talk to Tech at least every other week. Just touch base and see if there’s any news going on. That’s pretty much how I am with all the schools that have offered.”
But with two current Frenship early commits in the ’08 class and with the school being less than 15 minutes away from the Tech campus, one has to assume that the Red Raiders are towards the top, at least to begin. After all, Tech was the first to offer Walters and has been on him for over a year now.
“For the time being, I would probably go ahead and say that Tech is at the top. I have four offers in all and it’s not that other offers are bad, but Tech is the best school that’s offered so far. They’re showing a lot of love to me and until I go out and see other campuses and other schools, they’ll probably be right there. And even after that, they still might be there. There’s no telling, it’s crazy.”
It’s not crazy, yet. But it will be soon for Walters. Tech will have more competition in the battle for Walters in the near future.
Rivals showed their respect to Walters recently by showing the All-District member respect with a four-star rating and listed as the second best offensive line prospect in the country.
While this might be a big deal to those looking at the recruiting boards, Walters take it with a grain of salt.
“It’s definitely cool that some people that make up a bunch of lists consider me one of the top players in the nation. But that’s really all it is. I don’t want to put that number on a pedestal and focus on it. I don’t let that bother me. Ryan and Seth all the time when we’re hanging out tell me about it but I just tell them that it’s just a number.”
Walters has shown that those rating are much more than a number and very worthy of the future stars talents. Expect Haliburton and Doege to stay on the big man.
Porter will be watching Gator Bowl
It looks as if the Arizona coaching staff put scholarship offers in two separate envelops and sent them out on the day. As noted from above, one of them went to Walter’s house. The other? Odessa Permian OL Garrett Porter.
“I got an offer from Arizona today,” said Porter. “I just got the letter in the mail that said they wanted to extend me a scholarship. But I had never really talked to anybody. I guess they had talked to my high school coaches but I had never heard anything.”
And what about this last year’s season?
“We did pretty good, I guess. We would’ve liked to have gone farther. We made it to the regional finals. So it was the top 16 teams.”
How did Porter grade himself on his individual performance?
“I think I did alright. I don’t think I gave up a sack on that left side. I made first-team all district.”
Even with the post-season honors as a junior, Porter aims to focus and get better in certain areas this off-season.
“Probably my run blocking. It’s not bad, but my pass stuff is really good.”
The biggest improvement Porter saw in himself this year was his footwork.
“It was pretty good to start with but you can’t get too good with that. And my overall strength. Coming out of the 9th grade, I was weak. It’s just everyday. At 6:45 to 8, we have a lift. Then in the off-season we would go from 3 till 4:15 and then we would run after school. They called developmental track so they wouldn’t get in trouble. But it’s either be there or have fun on the sideline.”
Ironically, Porter’s first two offers were from Tech and Virginia.
“Yeah, and they’re playing each other in the Gator Bowl. I thought that was funny. I can’t go to that bowl game but I’m going to the Cotton Bowl to watch Missouri and Arkansas.”
So who will Porter be rooting for during the Gator Bowl?
“I don’t know. I can’t really pick one, I guess. Usually when I watch a game I really don’t pick a favorite unless I’m there and with that team, then I’ll get disappointed if something bad happens.”
And leaders for Porter?
“Not really, I’m just kind of looking at all the academic programs. Virginia has a pretty good medical field. Tech has something like that somewhere, too. I think South Carolina has a medical field as well and Louisville has one. I probably want to do something in medicine. I’ll probably major in some kind of science or something like that and apply for medical school.”
Deserving of more respect
Perhaps the most interesting part of our conversation with Frenship OL Mason Walters’ occurred within the first 30 seconds. We opened the conversation by asking Walters how he was doing and his thoughts regarding this year’s All-State selections.
“I heard Aaron Wampler made first team,” stated Walters. “I was pretty pumped for him!”
Right when Walters was expected to stop there and begin talking about his personal accomplishments, Walters continued to talk about the senior Frenship defensive end.
“I don’t understand why you guys aren’t calling Aaron Wampler. That guy is unbelievable. You don’t understand, he’s so good. I can block any guy on our team, with no problems. But that guy just gets by every single time. I seriously have had many days ruined because I will be so frustrated about the fact that I cannot stop that kid. There is no reason why he should not have any offers. I just don’t get it.”
After posting today’s video on Wampler, many subscribers are now baffled as well as to why the 6-foot-1, 277-pound end has not been given a scholarship opportunity by any schools yet.
“The only reason I’ve heard is that I’m too short,” added Wampler. “I know that I could be a little bit faster, but I wouldn’t consider myself slow, really.”
A scholarship from Rice might be in the future, as the Owls have been giving Wampler a large amount of consideration. UTEP would be the second and only other division-I team that has shown interest in giving a scholarship as well.
The Red Raiders would love to have Wampler on their team, but a preferred walk-on position is the only spot they have available for him at the moment. Although it’s evident that he would have a great shot of earning a scholarship within the first few years.
“I haven’t decided if I’m going to walk-on at Tech or not yet. I just kind of want to wait and see what happens.”
While Wampler waits to see if he will get an opportunity to have a full ride as a freshman, Tech will continue to hope that they get perhaps a steal with the pickup of this defensive end.
Bront Bird update
The thoughts and prayers from Red Raider nation have been much appreciated and felt from the family of Tech freshman linebacker Bront Bird after his mother passed away from cancer last Sunday night.
The Odessa community said goodbye during funeral services on Wednesday afternoon. After the funeral, the talented outside linebacker went home to spend time with family and friends. Two hours later, he was back on the road and headed to Lubbock.
The game of football has been a great reliever of pain and stress for Bird throughout his mother’s sickness and it appears as if it is very important to him that he plays in the bowl game in Jacksonville.
He was back in town for the team’s final workout before Christmas, which was held this morning.
Not only will Bird make the trip to Florida, but so will his father and other friends and family members.
