College Career at Texas Tech
Terrance Bullitt went on to play college football for Texas Tech. When he first started in 2009, he "redshirted." This means he practiced with the team but didn't play in any games. It allowed him to train and get stronger without using up a year of his college playing eligibility.

In 2010, Terrance played in all 12 games for Texas Tech. He made 23 tackles while playing as a safety. A tackle is when a defensive player stops the player with the ball.
Sophomore Season (2011)

Terrance made 56 tackles and was very good at stopping opponents behind the line of scrimmage. He also broke up 4 passes.

Junior Season (2012)
In 2012, Terrance played in 10 games and started 7 of them. Unfortunately, another shoulder injury kept him from playing in the last three games. He still managed to make 19 tackles and record a sack. A sack is when a defensive player tackles the opposing team's quarterback.
Senior Season (2013)
For his senior year in 2013, Terrance switched positions to linebacker. He played in all 13 games and started 12 of them. He had 37 tackles, 2 sacks, and broke up 9 passes. He also recovered two fumbles, which means he picked up the ball after an opponent dropped it.
Professional Football Journey
After college, Terrance Bullitt hoped to play in the NFL. He was not chosen in the 2014 NFL draft, which means he was "undrafted." However, the Baltimore Ravens signed him as a free agent. This gave him a chance to join an NFL team.
