Texas Tech soccer is in Austin to take on Texas tonight at 7:00 p.m. on the Longhorn Network or ESPN+. Both teams are ranked, Texas Tech at No. 25 and Texas at No. 14, so this is a huge match for these ladies. As an aside, goalkeeper Madison White was named as the Big 12 goalkeeper of the week.

“It originally started with the University of Texas,” Lieutenant Scott Stevenson said. “We had a Ranger that did security for Mac Brown and then we started here with Mike Leach.”

Now, Texas Tech is the only university in the state with the Rangers on the sideline.

“It’s just a special thing for us to do for the University and for the Rangers in general,” Stevenson said.

Stevenson has been helping since the beginning. He worked traffic when Mike Leach was the head football coach.

Now, he is always close by whoever is at the helm for the Red Raiders.

“I started doing the head security job with Kliff Kingsbury,” Stevenson said. “So, I’ve traveled with the team since Kliff Kingsbury and Matt Wells and now Coach McGuire.
