Texas Tech’s dependable former volume receiver with sneaky big-play value
In the 2000 season, Derek Dorris was a steady, productive Texas Tech WR, finishing with 56 catches for 574 yards and 10 touchdowns, and his career Red Raider totals settled at 112 receptions for 1,400 yards and 13 scores[11][12]. He stood out as a reliable chain-mover with enough size at 6-foot-2 and 200+ pounds to win contested throws, and Texas Tech described him as a player who loved the game enough to keep pushing toward coaching after football[2][15]. For a roster, he profiles as a tough, assignment-sound target with proven production rather than a pure speed merchant[2][11].
