The Texas Longhorns have landed a significant commitment from David Punch, a 6'7 forward previously with the TCU Horned Frogs. Punch, who has two seasons of eligibility left, entered the NCAA transfer portal with a 'do not contact' tag, indicating his intention to join Texas was already set. During his freshman season, Punch played 33 games, starting 27, and averaged 6.5 points and 4.4 rebounds. His performance improved notably during the NCAA Tournament, where he averaged 14.1 points and 6.8 rebounds per game. This move comes as the Longhorns look to fill gaps in their roster, especially after the recent departures of players like Nic Codie and Cam Heide. Under head coach Sean Miller, Texas aims to enhance its competitiveness after reaching the Sweet 16 in the last tournament, and Punch's addition is seen as a crucial step in that direction.
