On Wednesday, it was reported that Guyton had reclassified from the 2027 to the 2026 class.
According to 247Sports, he maintained his five-star status, coming in as the No. 20 player, the No. 3 edge player, and the No. 3 player from Georgia for 2026.
In the process, he also canceled his upcoming trip to Georgia.
Guyton has been committed to Texas Tech since August 7. He chose the Red Raiders over Alabama, Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina and others.
With Guyton reclassifying, the Red Raiders now have a pair of five-star pledges this cycle. Offensive tackle Felix Ojo committed to Texas Tech on July 4 and ranks as the No. 6 player in the cycle.
