Texas Tech University has made a significant addition to its 2027 recruiting class by securing a commitment from four-star wide receiver Julian Caldwell, who is ranked No. 59 in the SC Next 300. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound athlete from Argyle, Texas, is also recognized as ESPN's No. 12 wide receiver in the upcoming class. Caldwell chose the Red Raiders over offers from Texas and Oregon after visiting all three schools. He expressed excitement about joining a program that he believes is currently thriving, stating, "The program is hot right now. It's something I want to be a part of." Caldwell is the ninth overall prospect from Texas in the 2027 class, and his commitment continues Texas Tech's impressive in-state recruiting efforts under head coach Joey McGuire. The Red Raiders now have commitments from seven of the top 40 Texas prospects in the 2027 class, including five-star defensive tackle Jalen Brewster, the top recruit overall. Caldwell's strong performance at Argyle High School, where he recorded 94 receptions for 1,737 yards and 20 touchdowns last season, showcases his potential as a playmaker. His familiarity with Texas Tech's offensive scheme and relationships with current commits were key factors in his decision to join the program.
