Texas Tech gets commitment from 5-star DT Jalen Brewster

Five-star prospect Jalen Brewster, the No. 1 defensive lineman in the 2027 class per 247Sports, committed on Saturday to play for Joey McGuire, a former head coach of Brewster's high school who is now at the helm of No. 11 Texas Tech. Brewster is a junior at Cedar Hill High School in the Dallas area, where McGuire coached from 2004-16 and captured three state championships. The 6-foot-3, 302-pound defensive tackle chose the Red Raiders over Ohio State, Oregon, Oklahoma, Indiana and Texas A&M. Brewster is not allowed to sign a revenue-share contract until December 2026, per NCAA rules. Brewster is the son of Robert Brewster, a third-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys after being named a two-time All-MAC offensive lineman at Ball State. By landing a commitment from Brewster, the Red Raiders reeled in their second five-star recruit in the current cycle after No. 1 outside linebacker LaDamion Guyton pledged on Aug. 7 to attend Texas Tech. Four-star defensive tackle K'Adrian Redmond (No. 157 overall, per 247Sports) and three-star defensive end Antonio Underwood committed last month. –Field Level Media
