Cruz will also be visiting SMU.

After not seeing the field during his first season in 2024, Cruz saw action in three games this past season, playing offensive snaps in two of those contests. He logged a combined 14 snaps on the offensive line.

Cruz was a consensus four-star prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, with Rivals ranking him as the No. 183 overall player nationally, the No. 11 interior offensive lineman, and the No. 29 player in the state of Texas.

He has three years of eligibility remaining.
