JUST IN: 5-Star Tight End Oscar Delp Decommits from Georgia, Commits to Texas Tech Over Powerhouse Programs
LUBBOCK, TX — Breaking news is shaking up the college football recruiting landscape. Oscar Delp, a highly touted 5-star tight end, has officially decommitted from the University of Georgia and committed to the Texas Tech Red Raiders in a stunning turn of events. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound standout from Cumming, Georgia, made the announcement Tuesday morning via social media, igniting buzz across the college football world.
Delp’s decision comes as a major recruiting coup for Texas Tech, as he chose the Red Raiders over a slew of elite programs, including the Arkansas Razorbacks, LSU Tigers, and Texas Longhorns. Many had projected Delp to remain in the SEC, but his unexpected pivot to Lubbock signals a major win for head coach Joey McGuire and his staff.
“After a lot of prayer, reflection, and conversations with my family, I’ve decided to decommit from the University of Georgia and will be continuing my football journey with the Texas Tech Red Raiders,” Delp wrote in his announcement. “I’m beyond excited to be a part of the Red Raider family. Let’s get to work!”
Delp originally committed to Georgia in 2024, where he was expected to be a key piece in the Bulldogs’ offensive future. However, recent coaching shifts and a crowded tight end room may have influenced his decision to explore other opportunities. Texas Tech offered him a clearer path to immediate playing time and the chance to be a centerpiece in an offense that continues to evolve and prioritize tight end versatility.
At 6’5” and 245 lbs, Delp is widely regarded as one of the top tight end prospects in the nation. Known for his exceptional hands, fluid route running, and ability to dominate in both blocking and receiving roles, he brings a dynamic skillset that should make an instant impact in the Big 12.
Recruiting analysts see this as a defining moment for the Red Raiders’ 2025 class, which is now expected to receive a significant rankings boost. Delp becomes the highest-rated tight end to ever commit to Texas Tech and one of the top overall recruits in program history.
“Welcome to the family!” read the official Texas Tech Football post shortly after Delp’s announcement. Fans flooded social media with messages of support and excitement as Red Raider Nation celebrates a massive recruiting victory.
Stay tuned for more updates on how Delp’s commitment impacts the college football landscape heading into the 2025 season.
