Texas Tech\u2019s impressive 2027 recruiting class gained another valuable addition Sunday as 4-star Argyle (TX) HS wide receiver Julian Caldwell<\/a> committed to the Red Raiders. Caldwell chose Tech over other national powers Texas and Oregon. <\/p>\n

Caldwell is rated as a 93-overall prospect and the No. 67 player nationally, per Rivals.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s the 10th-best player in the state of Texas, in the same air as fellow Tech commits DL Jalen Brewster<\/a> (No. 1), WR Benny Easter Jr<\/a>. (3), LB Jhadyn Nelson<\/a> (7) and QB Kavian Bryant<\/a> (11).<\/p>\n

His commitment gives Caldwell a chance to succeed some family ties to the university with an opportunity to play early on in his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re definitely on the rise. I think they\u2019re probably one of the hottest programs in college football right now, so it definitely gives me a lot of confidence knowing that I have a quarterback in KB (Kavian Bryant) and another receiver in Benny Easter, so a lot of good guys going there,\u201d Caldwell told Rivals\u2019 Sam Spiegelman last month<\/a>. \u201cThe coaching staff has done a great job recruiting me. They\u2019ve definitely been in my ear a lot recently. For Texas Tech, I have an opportunity to really play early and make a big impact. There\u2019s a lot of good things going on over there. It\u2019s close to home. My grandparents are alumni. So that\u2019s another plus and shoot. Texas Tech is a great school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julian Caldwell continues high-flying trend for Texas Tech<\/p>\n

The Red Raiders and wide receivers coach Justin \u201cJuice\u201d Johnson<\/a> have recruited the position well in the last few seasons with Johnson at his post. Caldwell becomes the second 4-star wideout committed to Texas Tech in 2027 alongside the aforementioned Benny Easter Jr. He\u2019s visited Lubbock several times, most recently for a Texas Tech spring practice in late March.<\/p>\n

Caldwell saw a massive rise in his game jumping from his sophomore to junior season. As a junior for Argyle, Caldwel hauled in 94 receptions for 1,737 yards and 20 touchdowns, per his MaxPreps profile<\/a>. The blue-chipper helped his Argyle squad enjoy a 12-2 season, including an undefeated 8-0 run to the District 2-5A championship.<\/p>\n

Caldwell will take an official visit to Lubbock the first weekend of June. Winning Caldwell\u2019s recruitment gives the Red Raiders another big time staple in its recruiting class that has a chance to finish as one of the tops in the country.<\/p>\n
