Texas landed their second offensive lineman commit in the 2021 class in Michael Myslinski on Thursday. Now, Herb Hand turns his attention back to an in-state prospect in offensive tackle Ryan Lengyel.
Coming out of Jesuit High School in Dallas, Texas, Lengyel received an offer from the Longhorns on July 31. Baylor and Wyoming will challenge Texas for his commitment, which could be coming within the next 10 days.
247Sports’ crystal ball has one prediction for Lengyel and it currently favors the Longhorns, with recruiting analyst Mike Roach giving an eight on confidence level.
Lengyel told Mike Roach before being offered that he grew up watching Texas.
“Texas is a huge program and I’ve always watched it being raised in Texas,” he said.

Listed at 6-5 and 275 pounds, Lengyel is seen as a long term project for Herb Hand. Only a three-star prospect, the Dallas product could be similar to future first-round draft pick Samuel Cosmi.
Cosmi ranked higher on 247Sports recruiting websites but Lengyel has similar measurables to the current starting left tackle. Texas’ offensive line recruiting has been able to find diamonds in the rough over the years.
A commitment in the coming days could make two offensive linemen for Texas is a week. Hayden Connor is the only blue-chip tackle the Longhorns currently have. However, Texas is looking to prove Hand can develop not as highly ranked recruits into NFL quality players.
