Jayden Wilson Commits to Texas Tech
Jayden Wilson, a 2026 cornerback from Weddington High School, has committed to Texas Tech University. The 3A standout chose the Red Raiders due to their aggressive defensive scheme, which aligns with his playing style. Wilson believes he can contribute immediately, potentially starting as a freshman in the secondary. The depth chart at Texas Tech appears to be wide open, giving Wilson an opportunity to make an impact early in his collegiate career. Additionally, the university's strong academic program, which offers a range of engineering and business courses, was a major factor in his decision. Wilson had previously committed to another program, but decommitted in order to explore other options. He plans to enroll at Texas Tech in the fall of 2026 and begin preparing for the upcoming season at the university's summer football camp. Wilson's commitment adds to the growing list of top recruits for the Red Raiders.
