The greatest and most celebrated quarterback in the storied history of Texas Tech University football is widely recognized as record-setting passing icon Kliff Kingsbury. During his stellar collegiate career in Lubbock under head coach Mike Leach, Kingsbury shattered numerous NCAA passing records, orchestrated the explosive Air Raid offensive system to perfection, earned All-American honors, and led the Red Raiders to memorable victories before later returning to serve as the program's head coach.
