“East Texas Takeover: Texas Tech Lands 4-Star Cornerback S’Vioarean Martin in Bold Recruiting Coup”
This commitment isn’t just another win on the trail — it’s a declaration that Texas Tech isn’t just recruiting anymore. They’re competing, and the rest of the Big 12 better take notice.

Who is S’Vioarean Martin?
Standing at 6’1″, with lightning-quick footwork and elite ball-tracking ability, Martin isn’t just a lockdown corner — he’s a problem for every wide receiver in the conference. Scouts praise his instincts, football IQ, and ability to play both press and off-man coverage. His physicality at the line and knack for disrupting routes make him a future star in Lubbock.
Hailing from East Texas — an area loaded with football talent — Martin had offers from Baylor, TCU, Oklahoma State, and even Texas A&M showed late interest. But he chose the Red Raiders, and his commitment speaks volumes.
> “Texas Tech just felt like home,” Martin said in a post-commitment interview. “Coach McGuire and Coach Blanchard made it clear — they’re building something real in Lubbock, and I want to be a part of it.”

Fans Are Buzzing — Both Good and Bad
The moment Martin’s commitment dropped, social media lit up with Red Raider fans celebrating, but also drew out the haters.
> “Texas Tech? They’re not even a top team in Texas,” one SMU fan scoffed online.
“Incoming 7 wins in the Mid 12,” another user joked.
But here’s the truth — if people are mad, it means Tech is doing something right.
> “Super bummed but congrats to Tech and Martin,” one fan of a rival school tweeted.
“He’s a 4⭐️. This one hurts,” admitted a Houston fan.
Recruiting isn’t about winning internet arguments — it’s about stacking talent that wins games. And with Martin, Tech just added a true difference-maker to their 2026 class.

Building a Recruiting Wall in Texas
Joey McGuire, a Texas high school coaching legend, knows this state like the back of his hand — and that’s paying off big-time.
Texas Tech’s 2026 class is quietly becoming one of the most impressive in the Big 12. Martin isn’t the first domino — and he certainly won’t be the last. His commitment sends a message: Lubbock is no longer an afterthought on the recruiting trail.
McGuire and his staff have turned relationships, relentlessness, and results into recruiting gold.

What This Means for Texas Tech
This isn’t just about adding one player. It’s about momentum.
With Martin on board, Texas Tech’s defensive backfield just got a major upgrade. And more importantly, McGuire can now walk into any living room in Texas and say, “You see who’s coming to Lubbock? You should be next.”
Texas Tech hasn’t had this kind of recruiting juice since the Mike Leach era — and even then, 4-star corners didn’t line up to join the Red Raiders like this.

Let Them Laugh… For Now
Sure, critics are still stuck on the “7-5 jokes,” but Tech fans know that won’t last long.
> “It’s gonna be epic when Tech goes 7-5,” one user tweeted sarcastically.
Well, that’s the past talking. The future looks a lot more like 9-3 — or better.
With this kind of talent infusion and a hungry, hard-nosed coaching staff, the Red Raiders are gearing up to shock the Big 12. And if S’Vioarean Martin turns out to be what many scouts believe — a future All-Big 12 and maybe even NFL-caliber player — then this will be remembered as one of the turning points in Texas Tech’s rise.

Red Raiders are Rising
The energy around this program is undeniable. Recruiting wins like this don’t happen by accident — they happen when a program has a clear identity, a relentless staff, and a vision players believe in.
Texas Tech is done being the underdog. The Red Raiders are recruiting like contenders. And with Martin in the mix, they just got a whole lot closer to being one.
