The Texas Tech Red Raiders continue to land high-ranking recruits -- and they pulled the rug out from under the Georgia Bulldogs with their latest addition.
Five-star edge rusher and Georiga native LaDamion Guyton, the No. 2 overall prospect in the class of 2027, announced his commitment to Texas Tech on Thursday.
The 6-foot-3, 225-pound Guyton opted for the Red Raiders over Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee.
It's the latest in a run of landmark commitments boasted by Texas Tech, which had not signed a five-star recruit out of high school until 2024. The Red Raiders could have two this summer should they end up signing both Guyton and offensive tackle Felix Ojo, who committed to Texas Tech in early July.
On top of that, the Raiders are in the running to land 2027 five-star offensive tackle Cooper Hackett out of Oklahoma.
Over his first two years at Benedictine Military School in Savannah, Guyton racked up 134 tackles and 33 tackles for loss (including 16.5 sacks).
While high school recruits cannot receive official revenue-sharing contract offers until Aug. 1 of their senior years, it's expected that Guyton could receive a three-year deal worth up to $3.5 million, according to The On3 and Athletic.
