The Texas Longhorns landed a major piece for their 2026 recruiting class as four-star wing Bo Ogdenannounced his commitment to the program. The 6-foot-5 standout made his pledge to Texas following his official visit to Austin this past weekend.

Ogden chose the Longhorns over strong offers from Purdue and Tennessee, two programs that pushed hard in his recruitment. His decision gives Texas a versatile scorer and defender who has steadily risen in the national rankings throughout his high school career.

Bo’s commitment comes with strong family ties. His father, Chris Ogden, played at Texas from 1999 to 2003 under head coach Rick Barnes. Chris later returned to the Longhorns as an assistant coach and has been a familiar figure around the program. That history and connection helped make Texas feel like home for Bo as he mapped out his college future.

At 6-foot-5, Ogden projects as a dynamic wing who can knock down shots from the perimeter, handle the ball in transition, and defend multiple positions. His ability to stretch the floor and create mismatches makes him a valuable fit in today’s college game. With continued development, he could be an impact player early in his career.

Landing Ogden gives Texas momentum on the recruiting trail for the class of 2026. Beating out programs like Purdue and Tennessee highlights the Longhorns’ ability to keep top-tier talent close to home. His decision also strengthens the program’s connection to its past while building toward the future.

With Bo Ogden on board, the Longhorns continue to build a foundation for success in the Big 12 and beyond. Texas fans will be eager to follow his final high school seasons before he puts on the burnt orange and takes the floor at the Moody Center.
