Five-star. . Ryan Wingo. WR. Wide receiver. Ryan Wingo. player. 467. ryan.
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.
