Texas Tech head coach Grant McCasland announced on Apr. 21 the signing of transfer guard Damarion Dennis, who will join the Red Raiders as a junior for the 2026-27 men’s basketball season.
Dennis, a native of San Antonio, returns to Texas after playing his sophomore year at Wyoming where he averaged 11.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He began his college career at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. Over two seasons and 66 games, Dennis has accumulated a total of 586 points, 165 rebounds, 87 assists and 54 steals.
Last season at Wyoming, Dennis scored in double figures in nineteen games and recorded three games with more than twenty points. His career-high performances included scoring twenty-one points against both Colorado State and South Dakota. He also achieved his first career double-double with thirteen points and eleven rebounds against UNLV in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament.
During his freshman year at Corpus Christi, Dennis averaged nearly seven points per game and made six double-digit scoring appearances.
Dennis attended Veterans Memorial High School in San Antonio where he led his team to state tournament play as a senior and earned All-District MVP honors while setting the school’s scoring record.
The Red Raiders are coming off their third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance under McCasland with an overall record of twenty-three wins and eleven losses last season. The team was ranked throughout the entire season for the first time in program history, reaching as high as number ten before finishing at number twenty-one in the Associated Press Top Twenty-Five poll.
Dennis is the second player to join Texas Tech from the transfer portal this offseason following Cruz Davis from Hofstra. The incoming class also includes freshman DaKari Spear from Dallas.
