BREAKING: The Texas Longhorns have officially secured a commitment from five-star recruit Austin Goosby, ranked No. 19 in the SC Next 100 for the men’s college basketball class of 2026. This significant announcement comes just two days before the conclusion of the early signing period on November 19, 2025.
This commitment is crucial for Texas as they aim to enhance their roster with elite talent. Goosby, a versatile shooting guard, has been a top target for Texas schools for over two years, solidifying his status in the recruiting landscape after receiving high-major offers early in his high school career. With Rodney Terry leading the charge, the Longhorns have made a strong impression on Goosby, whose brother plays football for the university.
Goosby’s recruitment appeared to be a closely contested race between Texas and BYU, but the Longhorns ultimately emerged victorious. The addition of Goosby is expected to significantly bolster Texas’s backcourt, especially as they prepare for the 2026 season with a roster featuring several departing senior guards.
With the early signing period drawing to a close, attention now shifts to potential additional commitments. The Longhorns are also tracking other top prospects, aiming to further solidify their recruiting class.
As the landscape of college basketball recruiting evolves, Goosby’s commitment is a pivotal moment for Texas. The Longhorns have proven their ability to attract high-caliber athletes, which is essential for their goal of competing at the highest levels in NCAA basketball.
