The Big 12 recruiting landscape is currently painted in scarlet and black, with Texas Tech emerging as the undeniable powerhouse of the 2025 class. Under head coach Joey McGuire, the Red Raiders are not just competing—they are dominating the commitment list, thanks in large part to the financial backing of megadonor Cody Campbell.
Of the top 10 committed players in the conference, a staggering seven belong to Texas Tech. This elite group is headlined by Jalen Brewster, the No. 1 overall prospect in the nation, but the Red Raider haul doesn't stop there. In fact, the top five players on the list are all committed to Lubbock, creating a recruiting juggernaut that has the rest of the Big 12 scrambling to keep up.
Houston, Colorado, and Baylor have managed to secure spots in the top 10, but they are playing catch-up to a Texas Tech program that currently boasts the nation's No. 3 class. With more playmaking talent expected to commit this weekend, the gap may only widen.
Here is a closer look at the top committed Big 12 players from the latest Rivals300 update:

Chad Easter (Rivals300 Ranking: No. 22)
School: Summer Creek (Texas)
On his commitment: “Just the way they go about winning fits me perfectly,” Easter told Rivals. “And the passing offense. They wanna win. Just shows me what type of a winning program it will be when I get there.”
Dylan Nelson (Rivals300 Ranking: No. 41)

On his commitment: “This program has great coaches. They are great coaches, and also great people,” Nelson told Rivals. “Coach Blanch, Coach McGuire, Coach Brian Nance, Coach Shiel Wood. They’re all great people and I love to surround myself with great people. Shiel Wood is the defensive coordinator and also my position coach, so he’s gonna put me in a position to make plays. I’ve heard stories about Coach McGuire and they sent me a video of him working out with the team. That’s something I wanna be a part of.”
