A playful social media trend involving Texas Longhorns football players recently spotlighted wide receiver Ryan Wingo in a humorous light, as teammates were asked which player they would not want their daughter to date. This moment follows a similar trend that gained popularity in the NFL, where Minnesota Vikings players pointed to Stefon Diggs as their choice.

The Texas version of this viral dating trend saw Ryan Wingo emerge as the most frequently mentioned name in the poll, joined by players such as Colin Simmons, Christian Clark, and Warren Roberson. Other Longhorns participating included Jaylon Guilbeau, Anthony Hill Jr., Jordan Washington, and Kaliq Lockett.

Ryan Wingo’s Rising Role on the Longhorns Offense

As a true freshman in 2024, Wingo is already shaping up to be a vital part of Texas’ receiving corps. He secured 29 receptions for 472 yards and two touchdowns through the air, while also contributing 100 rushing yards and two additional touchdowns on the ground. His versatile performance highlights why he is viewed as a key offensive weapon this upcoming season.

Highly Rated Recruit Gaining Respect from Team Leaders

Wingo entered college football ranked as the No. 7 wide receiver nationwide and the No. 2 overall prospect from Missouri in the 2024 recruiting class by 247Sports. Alongside these accolades, he has earned the respect of Texas’ prominent players, including quarterback Arch Manning and pass rusher Colin Simmons. Both attended one of Wingo’s training camps back in his hometown, signaling strong support and camaraderie among the team’s playmakers.

Season Opener Awaits Against a Tough Opponent
