One month away until National Signing Day, one of the top defensive linemen in the 2026 classes has reopened his recruitment.

Four-star DL Dylan Berymon backed off his commitment to the Texas Longhorns on Wednesday, he tells Rivals.

Berymon committed to Texas in June.

USC and Mississippi State were finalists for Berymon prior to his commitment to the Longhorns over the summer. LSU, Ole Miss and Texas A&M were other SEC programs squarely in the mix with the Louisiana prospect during stretches of his recruitment.

The Rivals Industry Ranking No. 23 DL out of Monroe (La.) Ouachita Parish has made a string of visits back to the Forty Acres and also Ole Miss this fall. Berymon has made a pair of game-day visits to Oxford, most recently to catch the Rebels against LSU.

Berymon is tabbed as the No. 216 overall prospect in the 2026 class, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is the No. 8 player from The Boot in this cycle.

Michigan has proven a lot of naysayers wrong on the field thus far, jumping out to a 7-2 start and a No. 21 ranking in the College Football Playoff Top 25. What was looked at by many as a rebuilding year has been anything but for Sherrone Moore and Co., who are in position to improve on last year’s 8-5 mark.

The Wolverines have also maintained the momentum on the recruiting trail they closed out the 2025 cycle with. After signing a pair of five-stars in last year’s cycle, they have two committed again. Running back Savion Hiter and EDGE Carter Meadows are ranked by Rivals as the No. 1 players at their respective positions.

And in total, the Wolverines have 22 commitments and 15 blue-chip pledges in total. They’ve loaded up at wide receiver and tight end (five total commits), as well as on the defensive line (six). But Rivals’ Greg Smith reports they’re not done just yet.

“It’s a major storyline down the stretch run to National Signing Day that Michigan is being very aggressive trying to flip players,” Smith wrote on Wednesday. “Those efforts seem to be focused on two positions: linebacker and defensive back.”

Michigan has eyes on a couple of blue-chip cornerbacks committed to other schools, and the Wolverines are also trending to flip a Big Ten rival’s top linebacker commit, too. With the coaching carousel just beginning to get going, don’t count out a few more late offers as they look to beef up their class.

Moore and Co. hold the nation’s No. 10 class in the Rivals Industry Rankings, but they’re within striking distance of a few teams in front of them, including rival Ohio State.
