Bleacher Report: 5-Star EDGE LaDamion Guyton In Stunning Agreement Commits to Texas Tech over Georgia, FSU, Tennessee, 32 minutes ago….
In a move shaking the foundation of college football recruiting, 5-star EDGE LaDamion Guyton has committed to Texas Tech—stunning analysts and fans alike by turning down bluebloods Georgia, Florida State, and Tennessee.
Guyton, ranked among the top defensive prospects in the 2025 class, made his announcement just 32 minutes ago, sending social media into a frenzy. At 6’5″, 240 pounds with explosive speed off the edge, he’s been on every major program’s radar for over a year. Yet, in a bold decision, he’s chosen Lubbock as the place to elevate his career.
Texas Tech, long considered a second-tier player in the recruiting world, has now landed one of the nation’s most coveted defensive weapons. The Red Raiders’ staff, led by head coach Joey McGuire, clearly made a powerful impression, combining a vision for Guyton’s development with the lure of immediate playing time and perhaps strong NIL opportunities.
This is more than just a big commitment—it could be a turning point. Guyton’s pledge signals that Texas Tech isn’t just aiming to compete in the Big 12; they’re out to dominate. It also reflects a broader shift in college football, where program prestige is no longer the only factor. Development, culture, and visibility matter just as much.
For Georgia, FSU, and Tennessee, this one stings. For Texas Tech, it’s a statement: the Red Raiders are playing with the big boys now.
If Guyton lives up to the hype—and all signs say he will—this might go down as one of the biggest recruiting wins in program history.
