Cruz started at right guard as a freshman on his varsity team. As a sophomore, he earned a Texas District 4-5A D-I first-team selection. He’s the 13th-ranked interior offensive lineman in the class and the 226th overall prospect in the country, per the Composite.
With his verbal pledge, the Longhorns are up to 8 known commitments in the 2024 cycle. You can see his highlight tape below, via Hudl:
