Conyers and Brooks are the lone Red Raiders on the roster in the senior showcase. Conyers hauled in 25 catches for 271 yards and five touchdowns, along with one passing and one rushing touchdown this season for Texas Tech.

'We did well enough to get an invite here and that was a blessing,' Conyers said.
