Amari Barrett, a 6‑foot‑4 shooting guard from Millwood, Oklahoma, has officially committed to Texas Tech University’s 2026 basketball class, a decision that caps a whirlwind recruitment journey.
The recruit originally signed with Ball State in November 2025, only to reopen his options after a recent coaching change at the Indiana school, a move that kept his suitors watching closely.
During his senior season at Millwood High, Barrett posted averages of 17.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, numbers that helped him earn a spot on The Oklahoman’s 2026 Super 5 second team and a first‑team Little All‑City nod.
Statewide Acclaim
Ranked No. 48 among shooting guards in the 2026 class by 247Sports, Barrett’s blend of size, shooting and rebounding has drawn attention across the region, positioning him as one of the most coveted prospects in Oklahoma.
Standing at 6‑4 and weighing 180 pounds, he brings a versatile skill set that Texas Tech hopes will translate into immediate impact on the Red Raiders’ perimeter and overall depth.
