Early years
Deringer was born in Slidell, Louisiana, along Lake Pontchartrain and near the border to Mississippi. He attended high school at Marshall High in Marshall, Texas, where he and his family moved to after their displacement from Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Their family settled in with his grandparents and connected with the Catholic church in the city as well, maintaining continuity with their faith roots from the community they left behind in Louisiana.
College career
Deringer completed four years at the University of Texas, earning a bachelor's in business finance. He led the team in tackles and sacks his junior and senior seasons, earning all-Big 12 freshman honors and all-Big 12 honors his remaining years (second-team sophomore season, first-team junior and senior seasons). Additionally, his senior season, he led a fierce Longhorns unit which allowed an average of 12.5 points per game and helped carry Texas to a Big 12 championship. Though they were not selected to that season's College Football Playoff due to a surprising loss to Oklahoma State, they were chosen for the Cotton Bowl against Michigan, which they won and where Deringer was named MVP after returning two turnovers for touchdowns.
