I can understand why Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury isn’t taking Nic Shimonek to next week’s Big 12 Conference football media days. The players who are going — Cameron Batson, Dylan Cantrell, Keke Coutee and Jah’Shawn Johnson — are deserving spokesmen for the Red Raiders with the career achievements to go along with it.
Shimonek has yet to start a college football game.
Nevertheless, it’s too bad media and fans won’t get to know the Red Raiders’ quarterback on July 17 at The Star in Frisco.
“He’s quite the interesting fellow,” Nic’s mother, Tresa Shimonek, said.
