The first National Commitment Day for college football begins December 4th and runs through December 6th. This series offers you the opportunity to get acquainted with the next class in keeping Texas at the national level.

To win at a consistently high level, you have to stack one talented class after another. The top-five 2025 class accomplishes just that after finishing in the top six in the 2022, 2023 and 2024 classes.

On the first National Signing Day, Inside Texas is offering profiles of all members of the 2025 signing class. Next up is Myron Charles.

The player: Myron CharlesDT, Port Charlotte (Florida)

The rating: 93.46 (four stars)

The ranking: Charles is ranked No. 96 overall, No. 11 defensive lineman and No. 13 player in Florida in the On3 Industry Rankings. On3 ranks Charles as the No. 58 overall pick, No. 5 defensive lineman and No. 6 player in Florida.

The highlights:

The recruitment: The Longhorns traded Charles back in September. The Port Charlotte native committed to Florida St. and despite being heavily pursued by the Florida Gators at the end, Charles decided to stay with the Longhorns.

The projection: Explosive defensive lineman with the size, power and physicality to be a disruptive presence inside. Before his senior season, he stood about 6-foot-3 and weighed 300 pounds. Has plus length for the position. Lines up at multiple spots along his high school’s defensive line. Fires the snap with firepower and physicality. Was a bull in a china shop as a junior and finished with 24 tackles for loss. Has a natural explosive power. Bowls over offensive linemen and blasts ball carriers on contact. Converts speed into power as a bull rusher. Shows a very good release of the ball. Twitch and shows explosive movement skills on the field. Get by on pure talent. Will benefit greatly from college coaching and time in a strength program. Has violent hands but will benefit from refined technique.

The last word: Myron Charles considers himself a complete defensive lineman. “I can play wherever it is needed. At the next level, they use their defensive lineman all over the line, so I don’t feel like it’s a big adjustment for me because that’s exactly what I do with stopping the run and attacking the quarterback. It fits my playing style exactly and has fit perfectly into the system as I get older. I also worked really hard to get bigger and faster. My hands are harder and faster. The way I finish plays is faster and better because of my hands.”

Since Texas has multiple fronts and guys play different positions, Charles will fit in well.
