The junior X receiver grabbed 76 receptions for 1,177 yards last season and set a single-season school record with 13 touchdown catches. His yardage total also set the Tech sophomore yardage record. Junior Z receiver Joel Filani came on strong toward the end of last season, catching five of his 18 catches on the season against California in the Holiday Bowl. Filani finished the game with a career-high 144 yards and a touchdown and closed the season with 310 total receiving yards and two touchdowns. Junior Brandon Douglas may finally get to display his talent after struggling with injury much of his career. Douglas caught three passes last season and will back up Hicks in 2005. Newcomer and true freshman Todd Walker is listed third at X and should see some playing time following a solid spring workout. Junior Marquis Johnson and redshirt freshman Anthony Jenkins will continue to battle for backup duty behind Filani.

OFFENSIVE LINE The 2005 group could be the most talented in the last six years with the return of junior guard Manuel Ramirez and senior tackle E.J. Whitley. The Red Raid- ers do have to replace the center and left guard and tackle positions, but the coaching staff is conﬁdent in the replacements. Junior Brandon Jones is slated as the starter at center, ﬁlling the shoes of NFL fourth-round pick Dylan Gandy. Redshirt freshman Josh Aleman will back up Jones.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Special teams have become one of the most consistent units for the Red Raiders in the last two seasons. Tech returns starters at nearly every position, with the excep- tion of the right kick returner. Redshirt freshman Shannon Woods is penciled in at the position alongside sophomore Danny Amendola. Amendola was one of the nation’s top punt return men last year and was one of the most versatile players on the team. Sophomore kicker Alex Trlica will resume ﬁeld goal and extra point duties, while junior Keith Toogood will continue to kickoff. Junior punter Alex Reyes found some consistency in his second season and emerged from the 2004 campaign as one of the top punters in the Big 12 Conference. 65 Media Information

State University, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, University of Texas, Texas A&M University and Texas Tech University. The institutions created a league that encompasses seven states, over 42 million people and more than 18 million television households within its geograph- ic footprint. The conference conducts championships for 20 of its 21 sports. Each championship helps to determine teams and/or individuals that will represent the Confer- ence in national postseason competition. The winner of the Big 12 football championship game earns the league’s berth into the prestigious Bowl Championship Series. The Big 12 is under the direction of its third commissioner, Kevin L. Weiberg, who took over the reigns in December 1998. Under Weiberg’s guidance, the league distributed over $100 million to its member institutions for the 2004-05 academic year, nearly doubling the ﬁrst allo- cation of $54 million in the conference’s inaugural 1996-97 campaign. Weiberg has also helped lead the Big 12 into additional football bowl agreements and expanded television op- portunities for all sports through contracts with ABC/ESPN, FSN, TBS and CSTV. The Big 12 has its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, where Weiberg and his staff administer to over 4,600 student-athletes in 21 sports.
