Natchitoches (La.) Natchitoches Central three-star offensive tackle Tyler Johnson has committed to Texas Tech. He announced his commitment minutes into the Red Raiders’ contest against NC State.

The 6-foot-6, 300 pound recruit is the No. 615 overall prospect and No. 41 offensive tackle in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 30 player in Louisiana.

Following his commitment, Johnson became the 26th member of Texas Tech’s 2023 recruiting class. He is also one of two offensive tackles in the group alongside College Station (Texas) A&M Consolidated three-star Daniel Sill.

Following his commitment, Texas Tech’s 2023 class ranks No. 23 in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings and No. 4 in the Big 12. The Red Raiders’ highest-ranked prospect is Post (Texas) four-star EDGE Isaiah Crawford, the No. 157 overall prospect in the On3 Consensus.
