4-Star Defensive Tackle Dylan Berymon Commits to Texas

The Texas Longhorns have secured a significant commitment from four-star defensive tackle Dylan Berymon, a top recruit from Monroe, Louisiana, marking their first defensive tackle commitment in the 2026 recruiting class. Berymon, who measures around 6-foot-2 and 315 pounds, chose Texas over other finalists such as Purdue, Mississippi State, and SMU, following an official visit to Austin that solidified the Longhorns as his top choice. Texas defensive line coach Kenny Baker played a key role in the recruitment, with additional support from EDGE coach LaAllen Clark, highlighting the program's focused efforts in Louisiana, where they also secured defensive back Hayward Howard Jr. Berymon is ranked among the top defensive linemen nationally, noted for his potential as a nose tackle who can anchor the defensive interior by clogging run lanes and occupying blockers, addressing a critical position need for Texas. Despite strong interest from over 30 programs including Oregon, USC, Miami, and Florida, Berymon's commitment strengthens the Longhorns' defensive line prospects and continues their successful recruiting momentum under coach Steve Sarkisian. His commitment, alongside other Louisiana recruits, bolsters Texas's pipeline from the state and is expected to solidify the defensive tackle room for years to come.
