It never hurts to go out and get four-star talent and Joey McGuire and the Texas Tech Red Raiders recently did just that. SaRod Baker out of DeSoto Texas is helping McGuire and the Texas Tech football team keep the Big 12’s top ranked class as he added his name to the growing list of talented recruits who want to play college football in Lubbock.
Baker ended up committing to Texas Tech on April 27 and joined a 2027 recruiting class that is owning the top spot in the Big 12 according to 247Sports’ rankings.
While McGuire and Texas Tech have been doing better than just about everyone else in the conference without any sort of issue prior to Baker’s commitment, it certainly helps to solidify that lead at the top of the league.
