What can we expect from Ryan Wingo and Texas in 2024?

Gabe Brooks, a 247 Sports scouting analyst, describes Ryan Wingo as a player with an excellent athletic profile. Wingo's 10.55 100-meter speed is eye-catching, while his route-running ability should give him a role in Texas from Day 1.

Wingo is an impressive specimen of a playmaker. His size, frame and athleticism are in the upper percentile for wide receivers at his age grade. Expect him to develop in the Texas way and make a name for himself as the years go by.

The Texas Longhorns are fresh off an impressive season that saw them crowned Big 12 Champions for the first time since 2009. However, the Longhorns lost to Washington in the CFP semifinal at the Sugar Bowl.

They will be in the SEC for the 2024 season and beyond, so expect fireworks from Texas in college football's toughest conference.
