Over four months ago, Sean Miller received his biggest recruiting news since taking over the Texas Longhorns in March of last year: four-star combo guard Austin Goosby had committed<\/a> to his program.<\/p>\n

Since then, Goosby has garnered more and more attention while playing his senior season of high school basketball, and, most recently, he pieced together a highlight reel-worthy performance at the 2026 McDonald’s All-American game.<\/p>\n

Despite coming off the bench, he had everything from a fast-break dunk to two sneaky steals on the opposite end of the court. Playing just under 14 minutes, Goosby earned 6 points<\/a>, 2 rebounds, 2 steals, and one assist.<\/p>\n

Goosby, the brother of Texas football player Trevor Goosby, committed to the Horns over a slew of powerhouse programs<\/a>, including the Duke Blue Devils, BYU Cougars, and Baylor Bears. Since committing, he hasn’t wavered on his decision to join the Longhorns.<\/p>\n

In February, he even attended a Texas game at the Moody Center in Austin with his brother<\/a>, as the Horns took on and defeated the LSU Tigers.<\/p>\n

Goosby is the No. 4 combo guard in the class of 2026 and the No. 28 overall prospect. A Dallas native, it was huge when Miller earned his commitment, keeping him in his home state for his collegiate career.<\/p>\n

Miller’s 2026 recruiting class ranks 12th nationally, highlighted by Goosby, who is joined by four-star shooting guard Bo Ogden, four-star combo guard Joe Sterling, and center Coleman Elkins.<\/p>\n

In the McDonald’s All-American game, Goosby played for the West team, which routed the East team in a 102-86 victory.<\/p>\n
