Texas WR Ryan Wingo focuses on improving catch consistency in 2026
Summary

Texas Longhorns junior wide receiver Ryan Wingo is seeking to enhance his catching ability ahead of the 2026 season. He experienced issues last season, recording seven drops, the most on the team, and finishing with a catch rate of 57.4 percent. Wingo's development includes offseason LASIK surgery aimed at improving his hand-eye coordination. While some reports indicate significant progress in his ball skills, others note persisting drop issues during practices.
