Open Extended ReactionsTexas Tech's offseason talent-gathering spree continued on the high school recruiting trail Thursday with a commitment from five-star outside linebacker LaDamion Guyton, ESPN's No.
He picked the Red Raiders over Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee.
"They do a very good job of making you feel like you're one of their players already when you're in the building," Guyton said of Texas Tech to ESPN.
The program invested heavily in the winter and spring transfer portal windows, ultimately securing 21 additions within ESPN's top-ranked transfer class ahead of the 2025 season.
In Guyton, the Red Raiders now hold one of the most coveted commitments in the 2027 recruiting cycle.
