Texas Tech has added another piece out of the transfer portal, securing a commitment from former\u00a0Wyoming Cowboys guard\u00a0Damarion Dennis<\/a>, per On3\u2019s Joe Tipton. Dennis, a 6-foot-1 guard, will have multiple years of eligibility remaining, and brings efficient scoring, and athleticism to the Red Raiders backcourt for the 2026-27 season.<\/p>\n

Dennis is coming off a solid 2025\u201326 season at Wyoming where he played a key role in the Cowboys rotation, averaging\u00a011.2 points per game, along with\u00a03.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists, while shooting an efficient\u00a052% from the field.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Red Raiders Add Efficient Guard with Upside<\/p>\n

Before his time at Wyoming, Dennis began his career with the\u00a0Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders, where he gained early experience at the Division I level before transferring into the Mountain West. Dennis is a Graduate of Veterans Memorial High School in San Antonio, Texas, where he earned District MVP and All-League honors, while also leading his team to a pair of District Titles and a State Tournament appearance. He is the all-time leading scorer at Veterans Memorial High School as well.<\/p>\n

Dennis appeared in 32 games this past season for Wyoming and proved to be a highly efficient scorer, finishing with a field goal percentage north of 50%. His interior efficiency was a major strength, finishing over 60% at the rim while posting a 58% mark on two-point attempts, reinforcing his reliability as a scorer throughout the season. He also showed solid touch from the perimeter, shooting\u00a034% from three on 100 attempts, while converting at an impressive\u00a086% from the free throw line, further highlighting his efficiency as a scorer.<\/p>\n

Dennis showed a ton of growth through this past season, Starting from his\u00a016-point performance against Colorado State on January 31st, he began to find another gear offensively late in the season. From that point forward, he scored\u00a014 against San Diego State, 20 against Utah State, 21 at Colorado State, 17 against Fresno State, 16 at Boise State, 16 against Air Force, 18 against Nevada, 15 at San Jos\u00e9 State, 13 against UNLV in the Mountain West Tournament, and 17 against Wichita State in the NIT. Outside of Wyoming\u2019s game versus Grand Canyon, he hit double figures in every game from January 31st through Wyoming\u2019s final game this season.<\/p>\n

That late-season surge is exactly what makes Dennis such an intriguing addition for Texas Tech heading into next year. As Dennis becomes more consistent as a perimeter shooter and continues to expand his playmaking ability, his ceiling will only rise. If his late-season momentum carries over into next year, Texas Tech may be getting a guard who is just beginning to scratch the surface of his potential, with the tools to become a key contributor in the Big 12.<\/p>\n
