Five-star defensive tackle Jalen Brewster reaffirmed his commitment to Texas Tech on Wednesday, shutting down his recruitment, and giving the Red Raiders the top overall prospect in 2027.<\/p>\n

“Texas Tech is the best place for me and the best place to build my own legacy,” Brewster told Rivals’ Hayes Fawcett<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brewster originally committed to Texas Tech in October 2025, but he’s since had official visits with other schools, including Texas, Florida, LSU, and Indiana.<\/p>\n

The Tigers were the biggest candidates to flip Brewster’s commitment, sources told ESPN’s Eli Lederman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 6-foot-3, 310-pound lineman represents the highest-ranked addition in Texas Tech history, according to Lederman. The Red Raiders’ 2027 class also features two other top-50 recruits: five-star defensive end Anthony Sweeney and four-star quarterback Kavian Bryant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Five-star defensive tackle Jalen Brewster reaffirmed his commitment to Texas Tech on Wednesday, shutting down his recruitment, and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417768,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151],"class_list":["post-417767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
