Texas Tech will be one of the first schools up on Monday to begin the Big 12 football media days, a two-day get-together at the Omni Hotel in Dallas.
In advance of that, Tech sent out its media guide on Saturday with the preseason roster and depth chart.
Some notes and observations:
— Defensive tackle Donte Phillips is no longer on the roster. Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said during the spring that Phillips faced a decision on his career after undergoing surgery for a shoulder injury that ended his 2014 season.
— Junior Kris Williams started spring practice as a rush end, but might have found a home at weak-side linebacker.
