A who’s who of Texas Tech football greats is expected to be back in town this weekend in conjunction with the Red Raiders’ game Saturday against No. 3 TCU.
Zach Thomas and about 40 of Thomas’ former Tech teammates and coaches are on the list. So are former all-Americans Tracy Saul, Wes Welker, Marcus Coleman and Bam Morris, according to Rodney Allison, director of the Double T Varsity Club.
Thomas’ presence is the “On Campus Salute” component of his upcoming induction into the College Football Hall of Fame. The National Football Foundation arranges a return to campus for each new inductee on Saturdays throughout the fall. Thomas will be inducted during the NFF’s annual awards dinner Dec. 8 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.
Allison invited back all of Thomas’ old teammates and coaches for this weekend. Morris, the 1993 Doak Walker Award winner, and Coleman, who played in the same linebacker corps as Thomas, are part of that group. Thomas’ coach, Spike Dykes, also plans to return, Allison said.
Saul is scheduled for enshrinement in the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame at an Oct. 5 ceremony in Dallas. His presence is part of the Double T Varsity Club’s bringing back former Tech stars for each home game. Former basketball players Sheryl Swoopes and Darvin Ham have been guests at the first two home games, and former football standouts Andre Tillman, Joe Barnes and Dan Irons — all stars on big-winning Red Raiders teams of the 1970s — are scheduled for similar appearances at the final three home games.
“We just bring them in and recognize different players that have made an impact on Texas Tech athletics,” Allison said.
