Texas Tech fans, what does the name Zach Thomas mean to you? What about the name Lloyd Hill, Mike Smith, or Kevn Curtis ? If you have been following the program since the early 1990s you probably have fond memories of these players. If you are a knowledgeable fan, or junkie like myself, you are aware these players, before starring at Texas Tech, starred on the Gridirons of West Texas.
In fact , all four players spanning from Hill (Odessa Permian,) to Thomas (Pampa), to Curtis, and Smith–who played right down the street at Coronado High School–went on to be drafted by NFL Teams.
