Texas Tech kicked off their 2026 recruiting class with a strong start by securing a commitment from four-star linebacker Tieson Ejiawoko of Georgetown (TX) East View. The 6-foot-2, 220-pound junior shared his decision to join the Red Raiders via social media on Friday night.
Ejiawoko received an offer from Texas Tech in January and visited the campus for a pool party event last month.
“It was a great experience,” Ejiawoko told ITRR about his visit. “I really enjoyed spending the day with the coaching staff. They were very welcoming, and I was impressed by the program and facilities. I had a fantastic time in Lubbock and definitely plan to attend a game this season.”
He added, “I had many conversations with Coach Bookbinder and felt a strong connection while building a relationship. The hospitality and facilities were remarkable. It’s an incredible experience to be part of.”
Ranked as a three-star recruit and the No. 23 linebacker in the country, Ejiawoko is also the No. 39 overall recruit in Texas for the 2026 class according to 247Sports. The 247Sports Composite, which averages the major recruiting services, rates him as a four-star recruit, the No. 252 overall prospect nationally, the No. 24 linebacker in the nation, and the No. 37 overall player in Texas for the 2026 cycle.
Ejiawoko selected the Red Raiders over offers from Connecticut, Houston, North Texas, Oregon State, Washington State, and UNLV.
