The little brother of Texas Football starting left tackle Trevor Goosby, Austin took official visits to all the schools in the mix, but ultimately decided to join Miller and his family in Austin.
Goosby has two older brothers living in Austin and that definitely helped the Longhorns’ cause. Plus, Miller made sure to see Goosby in Melissa early in the morning multiple times to earn face time with the 4-star standout.
The Metroplex star has a strong set of skills, including shooting, ball-handling, and blending into any offense and defense. He joins Joe Sterling, Bo Ogden, and Coleman Elkins in the Longhorns’ 2026 recruiting class.
According to Rivals’ Jamie Shaw, Goosby was one of the top performers at EYBL Memphis in May:
Austin Goosby (Drive Nation) brings a lot of tools to the table, with his projectable frame and intriguing length. The 6-foot-5 four-star’s best game was on Saturday when he finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds. While he finished 3-13 from three on the weekend, he showed intriguing passing chops, moving the ball around when it was in his hands. He averaged 16.3 points and 5.0 assists through the weekend.
He was also a standout at the NBPA Top-100 Camp in Rock Hill, S.C. over the summer:
Austin Goosby is one who consistently shows impressive flashes, both scoring and distributing the ball. He has solid size and can toggle between on or off ball roles. He also tends to drift in and out of production throughout the course of games. He has a smooth jump shot, finishing with 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists in his second game today.
Goosby is ranked as the No. 23 overall prospect, the No. 6 shooting guard, and the No. 2 player in Texas in the Rivals Industry Ranking. Rivals ranks Goosby as the No. 50 overall prospect, the No. 11 shooting guard, and the No. 4 player in Texas.
