When official visit invitations start flying around to teams’ top prospects, it is customary now for a graphic or even a short video to be seen on social media from said prospects. Without fail, however, there will be some visitors that pop up seemingly out of nowhere.

That is the case for Lithonia (GA) defensive tackle Tico Crittendon Jr. as it relates to his official visit to Texas Tech.

Despite having a commitment date and top four set, that didn’t stop Crittendon from taking in the vibes of West Texas, and RedRaiderSports.com caught up with him to talk about the experience.
