Justin and Joe go over what makes Cleveland special and dive into some of the personal stories Justin gained from visiting Cleveland in Alabama. Cleveland spoke of his affinity for Texas to Wells, telling him he didn’t have a Texas flag to put up in the Parker High School wall even before he was a Texas commit. Now, there’s surely one in Parker.

Wells and Cook then go over what it means for Kenny Baker and Texas’ 2026 recruiting class, which now features defensive tackle commits like Corey Wells out of Petal, Miss. and Dylan Berymon out of Monroe, La.

Cleveland is ranked as the No. 120 overall prospect, the No. 11 defensive lineman, and the No. 8 player in Alabama in the On3 Industry Ranking.
