Top-100 DL Myron Charles flips commitment from Florida State to Texas

Port Charlotte (Fla.) four-star defensive lineman Myron Charles committed to Florida State on June 28.

After Texas‘ dominating win over Michigan, Charles has flipped his commitment from the Seminoles to the Longhorns.

The 6-foot-4, 300-pound Charles took an official visit to Austin beginning June 8.

Charles is the nation’s No. 118 overall prospect, No. 10 defensive lineman and No. 20 recruit from Florida in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

On3 is especially high on Charles. He ranks No. 58 nationally and No. 4 among defensive linemen in the 2025 On300.

On3’s scouting and rankings team writes this about Charles as a prospect.

“Explosive defensive lineman with the size, burst and physicality to be a disruptive presence along the interior. Measured at around 6-foot-4, 300 pounds prior to his senior season. Has plus length for the position. Lines up at multiple spots along the defensive line for his high school. Fires off the snap with burst and physicality. Was a bull in a china shop as a junior, finishing with 24 tackles for loss. Has natural explosive power. Bowls over offensive linemen and blows up ball carriers on contact. Converts speed to power as a bull rusher. Shows very good burst off the ball.

“Twitchy and shows explosive on-field movement skills. Getting by off of pure talent. Will benefit greatly from college coaching and time in a strength program. Has violent hands, but will benefit from refined technique. Slightly older for the cycle, turning 18 years-old in the spring of his junior year. Has the upside to develop into an interior pass rusher with improvement to his technique.”
