Four Texas Longhorns freshmen are already making an impact early in the 2026-27 college basketball season. In a season-opening victory over the Chicago State Cougars at Moody Center in Austin on November 2, 2026, the newcomers contributed significantly to the team's performance.
Guard Austin Goosby, wearing number 10, was among the freshmen who stood out, celebrating a basket during the first half. The Longhorns' rookie class has shown immediate readiness, providing depth and energy as Texas begins its campaign.
