Austin Goosby, the No. 4 CG in the country, joins Sean Miller\u2019s squad with immediate starting potential. At 6 &#8216;5\u201d, 186lbs, he brings elite length and scoring ability next to Isaiah Johnson and Mikey Lewis.<\/p>\n<p>2025 Highschool Stats: 17 PPG, 4.8 REB, 3.2 AST, 1.6 STL<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>The No. 2 player in the state of Texas comes into Austin with ties to the school. His older brother is Trevor Goosby, the star OT and future first round pick for Steve Sarkisian\u2019s squad. Austin could very well be the next Goosby to cement a special legacy at Texas, starting his freshman year.

His high school career at Dynamic Prep allowed him to play at a number of other elite high schools, along with his EYBL career. That should make the transition to the next level easier, especially with how he\u2019s performed in the elite showcases around the country.<\/p>\n<p>There have been a number of fantastic additions to Sean Miller\u2019s squad this offseason. None might be more impressive than Goosby. He could become the next in a long line of Sean Miller draft picks this time next year. However for now, it\u2019s about what he can bring to the Longhorns and it seems to be a whole lot. Tomorrow, we\u2019ll talk about Bo Ogden, another recruit that could bring true outside sharpshooting to the table immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>This article originally appeared on Longhorns Wire: <a href=\"https:\/\/longhornswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/college\/longhorns\/mens-basketball\/2026\/05\/06\/fresh-faces-on-the-forty-goosby-brings-elite-scoring-to-longhorns\/89965901007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Fresh Faces On The Forty: Goosby brings elite scoring to Longhorns;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Fresh Faces On The Forty&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Fresh Faces On The Forty: Goosby brings elite scoring to Longhorns<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As we continue making our way through the new Longhorn basketball players, we\u2019ve come to possibly the most&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[132,66109,90283,82730,19753,27,29,28,49085,46917],"class_list":["post-281826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-austin","tag-isaiah-johnson","tag-longhorn-basketball","tag-mikey-lewis","tag-sean-miller","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news","tag-the-state-of-texas","tag-trevor-goosby"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
