Texas Tech continues to strengthen its recruiting efforts with the commitment of four-star Class of 2027 wide receiver Benny Easter Jr., per Rivals.
Easter is ranked as the No. 5 overall wide receiver in his class and chose the Red Raiders over several other Power Five programs, such as Houston, Kansas, and Oklahoma State.
The 6-foot-2 pass catcher opted to stay in his home state of Texas.
Easter becomes one of the highest-rated skill position players to commit to Texas Tech in the 2027 cycle. His addition boosts an already strong offensive class as Joey McGuire and staff continue to build for the future in Lubbock.
Texas Tech enters one of the final weeks of the regular season ranked No. 5 nationally with a 10-1 record.
With a favorable matchup against West Virginia ahead, the Red Raiders are positioned to compete for a Big 12 title and make a push for the College Football Playoff.
Texas Tech’s lone loss of the season came without starting quarterback Behren Morton, who was sidelined due to injury in the matchup against Arizona State. Despite missing time, Morton has thrown for 17 touchdown passes in 2025 and remains one of the most efficient passers in the Big 12.
