ARLINGTON — As Texas Tech running back Tahj Brooks made the rounds at Big 12 media days at AT&T Stadium on Thursday, he stopped to chat with a reporter from his hometown newspaper. Brooks, a Manor High School graduate, joined several players from the Austin area picked to represent their college programs at the two-day, all-things-football fest that unofficially kicks off the 2023 season. Connally graduate Jahdae Barron was one of the five Texas players at the event, drawing a smile from Brooks. 'Oh, that's my dog,' Brooks said.
