Texas lands first DT commitment as 4-star Dylan Berymon makes his choice

Louisiana is familiar territory for the Texas Longhorns during Steve Sarkisian‘s tenure. The Horns already have a commitment from The Boot in cornerback Hayward Howard from New Orleans. This time Texas went to the top of the state for Monroe’s Dylan Berymon.

Berymon, a 6-foot-2, 320 pound defensive tackle, gives Texas coach Kenny Baker his first commitment of the class after a strong first cycle on the 40 Acres. Despite doing well in 2025 and in the most recent portal windows, D-tackle remains a big need for the Horns. One more good class and the room should be set for the foreseeable future.
Long-term, Berymon has the look of an anchor at nose who does his dirty work clogging up the run game. He plays with a strong base and is able to get good upfield push.
IT believed Texas was the leader for months, though the Purdue Boilermakers, thanks to pre-existing relationships, made genuine in-roads in recent days and may have even pulled ahead for a short time. In the end, Berymon made the same choice former Boilermaker defensive tackle, and likely 2025 Texas starter Cole Brevard made.
