Texas Tech football isn't just winning games under Joey McGuire. The Red Raiders are assembling a 2027 recruiting class that could change the program's future, and several of their biggest commitments are putting on a show this fall.

Texas Tech has climbed into the national top ten in recruiting rankings, with five-star defensive lineman Jalen Brewster and edge rusher Anthony Sweeney providing the foundation. But it's the production of several offensive prospects and two-way standout Gideon Gash that's generating additional excitement.

Gash, a 6-4, 205-pound athlete from Detroit Catholic Central, is enjoying a spectacular senior season.

Through six games, he's produced 816 all-purpose yards and 12 touchdowns, including two interceptions returned for scores. He's also accumulated 376 receiving yards while establishing a Michigan high school record for punt-return touchdowns.

Those numbers explain why Gash is attracting attention beyond his current four-star designation.

The versatile prospect chose Texas Tech over programs including Alabama, Michigan State and Oklahoma. And despite continued recruiting interest elsewhere, Gash has emphasized his loyalty to the Red Raiders.

He's certainly making a compelling case for five-star consideration.

Meanwhile, quarterback Kavian Bryant is giving Texas Tech fans another reason to get excited.

The Palestine Westwood standout delivered one of the state's most impressive individual performances earlier this season, completing 14 of 18 passes for 385 yards and five touchdowns against Timpson.

As if that weren't enough, Bryant added 111 rushing yards and two more scores.

Seven touchdowns in one game?

That's the kind of production that gets everyone's attention.

The performance earned Bryant recognition as a Class 3A Built Ford Tough Player of the Week.

DeSoto running back SaRod Baker is another potential game-changer.

Baker has accumulated 639 rushing yards through five games, averaging 6.7 yards per carry. He's also demonstrated his versatility by shifting to quarterback when DeSoto needed additional offensive production.

But Texas Tech's recruiting foundation remains especially impressive on defense.

Brewster, regarded as the nation's No. 1 overall prospect by Rivals, transferred from Cedar Hill to Georgia powerhouse Buford for his senior season. The move could allow him to enroll early and participate in spring workouts.

Sweeney, meanwhile, continues developing at Baltimore's St. Frances Academy, one of the country's premier high school football programs.

Together, they give Texas Tech two elite defensive prospects capable of making an early impact.

The bigger challenge now is keeping the class intact.

With the December signing period approaching, McGuire's staff must protect its commitments while pursuing additional talent.

And the question surrounding this recruiting cycle is becoming increasingly interesting.

Can Texas Tech turn a top-ten recruiting class into a top-five finish?

For a program that has already established itself as a Big 12 championship contender, the answer could help determine whether the Red Raiders remain nationally relevant for years to come.
