The Texas Tech football program has continued to bolster its impressive 2027 recruiting class, landing a commitment from Jalen Brewster, the top-ranked defensive lineman in the nation. Brewster, a 6-foot-3, 302-pound prospect out of Cedar Hill, Texas, announced his decision to join the Red Raiders on Saturday.
Ranked as the No. 1 defensive lineman and the No. 3 overall prospect in the state of Texas, Brewster is a major coup for Texas Tech. With a composite prospect score of 0.9965, he is the No. 9 player in the country for the 2027 class. Brewster had his pick of top college programs, receiving offers from the likes of Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Texas A&M, before ultimately choosing to play for head coach Joey McGuire and the Red Raiders.
Brewster's commitment marks the fourth 5-star recruit in Texas Tech's 2027 class. He joins EDGE rusher LaDamion Guyton, defensive lineman K'Adrian Redmond, and defensive lineman Antonio Underwood as elite prospects set to join the Red Raiders in the coming years. The program previously had a commitment from 5-star offensive lineman Cooper Hackett, who has since flipped his pledge to Oklahoma.
