Texas Tech lands 5-star from 2027 recruiting class

Texas Tech landed the commitment of five-star edge rusher LaDamion Guyton on Thursday afternoon. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound prospect from Savannah, Ga. picked the Red Raiders over SEC powers Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina. 

On3 lists Guyton as the No. 2-ranked player in the 2027 recruiting class and the top-ranked edge rusher. He’d be Texas Tech’s highest-ever ranked signee if he remains pledged to Joey McGuire’s program through signing day next December. He is the first commitment for Texas Tech in the 2027 cycle.
