Texas Tech Lands No. 1 2027 Defensive Lineman Jalen Brewster

He cited his Cedar Hill ties to coach Joey McGuire in choosing Texas Tech.

Overview

  • Brewster announced his commitment during a Saturday ceremony, choosing the Red Raiders over Ohio State, Texas A&M, Oregon, Oklahoma and Indiana.
  • The 6-foot-3, roughly 302–305-pound Cedar Hill junior is widely rated the nation’s No. 1 defensive lineman and a top-10 overall prospect in the 2027 class.
  • His pledge gives Texas Tech a second five-star in the 2027 cycle alongside EDGE LaDamion Guyton, joining recent defensive additions K'Adrian Redmond and Antonio Underwood.
  • Brewster referenced his longstanding connection to McGuire from their Cedar Hill roots as a key factor in the decision.
  • He remains a verbal commit with signing more than a year away, and ESPN reported strong late interest from Ohio State and Texas A&M plus a sizable offer from Oregon under the sport’s evolving financial landscape.
