If you didn’t think Ryan Wingo would be on this list just because he’s an obvious choice, you were sorely mistaken.

One of the four five-star commits in Texas’ 2024 recruiting class, Wingo is a top-ten receiver in the nation for his age.

Despite his smaller build, standing at just 6-foot-2, Wingo seemingly has an extra gear when he’s on the field. With a sub-11-second 100-meter dash and sub-22-second finish in the 200 meters, Wingo is built for long shots down the field and unstoppable touchdown receptions.

Beyond shooting past opponents’ secondaries, Wingo is a highly talented returner and is known to be slippery when opponents attempt to take him down.

With 210 pounds on his frame, Wingo may try to slim down a bit while at Texas but he is built for success in the NFL and most certainly while on the Horns’ roster.
