LUBBOCK, TX — In a stunning, game-changing twist that’s sending tremors through the college football world, 5-star tight end Oscar Delp (6’5”, 245 lbs) has officially decommitted from the Georgia Bulldogs and pledged his allegiance to none other than the Texas Tech Red Raiders, shocking powerhouse programs like LSU, Arkansas, and Texas in the process.
“I’ve found my home,” Delp said in a statement that lit up social media. “It’s Red Raider Nation all the way. Guns up!”
The Flip Heard Around the Nation
Delp’s decision to walk away from the back-to-back national champion Georgia Bulldogs was not one anyone saw coming. The towering tight end from Cumming, Georgia, had been long considered a lock for Kirby Smart’s offensive machine. With his combination of elite size, strength, and hands, Delp had been expected to step into a starring role in Athens.
But as recruiting insiders scrambled for answers, Delp shocked everyone with a carefully worded announcement and one powerful photo: Oscar Delp in a scarlet and black Red Raiders jersey, flashing the iconic Guns Up sign.
Why Texas Tech?
This commitment is more than just another recruit. It’s a statement of intent from Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire, who continues to obliterate recruiting ceilings and elevate the program to national prominence.
Behind the scenes, sources say it was the family atmosphere, the vision for Delp in the offense, and the chance to become a legend, not just another name, that sealed the deal. Tight ends coach Josh Cochran reportedly built a close bond with Delp and his family, painting a clear picture of how the Red Raiders’ high-octane system would showcase his unique skill set.
“They didn’t just want me,” Delp said. “They believed in me. They see me as a centerpiece — and that’s what I want to be.”
What Texas Tech Is Getting
Make no mistake: Oscar Delp is the real deal. At 6’5”, 245 pounds, with blazing speed, crisp route-running, and elite athleticism, he’s a matchup nightmare for any defense. Linebackers can’t keep up with him, and safeties can’t bring him down.
In his junior season, Delp racked up over 1,000 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns, drawing comparisons to NFL stars like Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews.
Now, with his commitment to Texas Tech, Delp becomes the highest-rated tight end to ever commit to the Red Raiders — and arguably their biggest recruit in modern history.
Red Raider Nation Erupts
Within minutes, “#OscarDelp” and “#GunsUp” began trending nationwide. Texas Tech fans, stunned and ecstatic, flooded Delp’s social media with messages of welcome and excitement.
Even Texas Tech quarterback commit Mason Mendez chimed in:
“Let’s go win rings, bro. Welcome to the family.”
A New Era in Lubbock
Oscar Delp’s commitment marks a turning point in Texas Tech football history — a power shift, a declaration, and a warning to the rest of the country: the Red Raiders are no longer chasing relevance — they’re building a dynasty.
Watch out, college football. Delp is here. And he’s bringing the fire to West Texas.
