Texas Football Recruiting: Five-star Denton Ryan DT announces top 16

In the 2022 class, Denton Ryan has another star at the DT position in Bear Alexander. Texas has made the top 16 for the five-star.

Denton Ryan High School is producing some of the best in-state talents over the past two recruiting cycles. Five-star athlete Ja’Tavion Sanders signed with the Longhorns on Wednesday and four-star athlete Billy Bowman, a former UT commit, signed with Oklahoma.

Moving into the 2022 class, the Raiders have another star at the defensive tackle position in Bear Alexander. Rivals.com has him as a five-star prospect and the No. 3 player in the state of Texas.

Within his top 16, Oklahoma and TCU are the only other Big 12 schools to make the cut. SEC teams dominate with top programs such as Alabama, Georgia, and LSU within the mix. In-state rival Texas A&M, who is seen as one of the favorites in his recruitment, also makes the top 16.
