One of the top players in the 2027 recruiting class, and the Oregon Ducks recruiting board, 5-star defensive Jalen Brewster, announced his college commitment on Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately for Oregon fans, that commitment didn’t end up going the way of the Ducks, just yet.
Brewster, who is the No. 9 overall player and No. 1 defensive lineman in the 2027 class, per the 247Sports Composite, announced his commitment to the Texas Tech Red Raiders, as expected, on Saturday. Standing at 6-foot-3, 300 pounds, Brewster is a dominant force on the defensive line and was one of the most coveted players at his position, regardless of class, in the nation.
Oregon has had Brewster high on its recruiting board for quite some time now, and while it wasn’t able to land him on Saturday, that undoubtedly won’t stop them from trying in the future. It helps that Brewster is in the class of 2027, meaning that he won’t sign his letter of intent until over a year from now, unless he reclassifies to the 2026, which is not expected at this point.
The Ducks currently have one player committed in the 2027 class: 4-star EDGE Cameron Pritchett, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound pass-rusher out of Alabaster, Alabama.
