Top-ranked 2027 college football recruit shocks after snubbing Georgia Bulldogs

College football season is nearly back, and while many fans are focused on top talents like Arch Manning returning to the field in the coming weeks one of the sport's future stars has made his decision on where he will play in 2027.

LaDamion Guyton, the top-ranked recruit in the 2027 class, revealed that he will be playing at Texas Tech after selecting the Big 12 school over SEC programs Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Guyton has become one of the standout defensive prospects as a pass rusher after spending his high school career at Savannah (Ga.) Benedictine Military School.

“God doesn’t make mistakes,” Guyton told Rivals. “I didn’t think I’d commit this early either, but after talking with my mom, it just felt right. That visit showed me exactly what I needed to see.”

While Guyton has expressed his commitment to the Red Raiders, it's still possible that Georgia and other top programs circle him as they still have two years until the star edge rusher enters the college football landscape.
