Texas guard Anthon McDermott brings size, toughness, and upside to the Longhorns
McDermott is a 6-5, 200-pound junior guard for Texas who redshirted the 2024-25 season and returned for 2026-27, so the Longhorns are clearly betting on his long-term development rather than instant fireworks. He was a 2,000-point prep scorer at Hallsville, and the buzz around him centers on a sturdy frame, wing-sized versatility, and a no-frills, team-first profile that fits a physical rotation. He’s not a headline-stat monster yet, but if you value patience, size, and projection, he’s the kind of low-drama piece coaches love to mold.
