About Demari

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My name is Demari Ruth, and I’m a middle linebacker at Denton Ryan High School, Class of 2027. I’m 6’0”, 240 pounds, and I take pride in being a physical, disciplined, and high-IQ player who leads from the front.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

This past season, I recorded 130 total tackles (96 solo), 6 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 3 forced fumbles in 13 games. My goal every time I step on the field is to be disruptive, play fast downhill, and make an impact on every snap. I focus on reading offenses quickly, staying fundamentally sound, and putting myself in position to make plays for my team.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Earning Texas Sports Writers Association All-State Honorable Mention as a 3rd Team Linebacker was a blessing, but I’m not satisfied. I’m continuing to work, improve, and push myself to reach the next level. In addition, I assist with coaching youth football, discus, shot in my spare time.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

Started playing at 6 as a DE. Moved to Texas in 8th grade and had to rebuild from the ground up. 2022 FBU Dallas Metro Champion. Transitioned to MLB my sophomore year and recorded 64 tackles on varsity. Lost a coach who believed in me, but found that same motivation again. Ready to go all in for my senior year.

What type of college are you looking for?

Looking for a program that values development, versatility, and strong relationships where I can grow as a linebacker, contribute early, and be part of a family oriented culture.

Demari plays the linebacker position with strong instincts and a physical approach that shows up consistently on film. He reads his keys well and triggers downhill quickly once he diagnoses run action. He shows good leverage at contact, works through blockers with effort, and stays active around the football. His pursuit effort stands out as he tracks plays across the field and competes through the whistle. With continued development in coverage and added strength, he can become an even more disruptive presence on defense.
