2 young fans have special moment at Texas Tech spring game (Video)
Texas Tech made sure its spring game was memorable for two special fans.
The program welcomed 11-year-old Braden and 12-year-old Andrew, their “Fearless Dream Kids,” to spend the day with the Red Raiders courtesy of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Both boys, decked out in full TTU gear, lined up at wide receiver and took a handoff on a reverse play before scampering about 15 yards for a touchdown. Both were mobbed by the Texas Tech players in the end zone.

Those touchdowns were just a small part of an all-around great day.

“I knew in warmups that they had something special,” Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said afterward. “They had great attitudes, were running around there fitting in with the guys, so I expected them to play well and they did.”
The boys received care packages from Texas Tech in the mail as well as an invitation to join them in Frisco for the scrimmage. They spent the day on the field hanging out with Tech players and even caught passes from Kingsbury during warmups.
After the spring game, Andrew and Braden joined Kingsbury for his news conference.
“Thank you for letting us do this,” Andrew told Kingsbury. “You guys played good.”
