Texas Tech picked up its latest five-star commitment Monday with a pledge from defensive end Anthony Sweeney, ESPN's No. 18 overall prospect in the 2027 class.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound edge rusher from Baltimore announced his commitment to the Red Raiders via social media, joining No. 1 overall recruit Jalen Brewster as the program's second five-star addition in the cycle and further reinforcing Texas Tech's surge as a national force on the high school recruiting trail.

Sweeney, Maryland's top-ranked prospect in the 2027 class, is the No. 3 defensive end in the SC Next Junior 300. His pledge to the Red Raiders follows his unofficial visit with the program April 4, one of the final stops in a busy slate of spring visits that included trips to Alabama, Auburn, LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee and in-state Maryland, among others since the beginning of March.



Upon Sweeney's pledge, Texas Tech holds commitments from seven prospects in the 2027 class, including six from the SC Next Junior 300. Four-star quarterback Kavian Bryant, ESPN's No. 2 dual-threat passer, has been committed to the Red Raiders since Nov. 1, 2025. Outside linebacker Jhadyn Nelson (No. 172 overall) and defensive tackle K'Adrian Redmond (No. 180) round out the program's collection of top 300 defenders.
