The Oregon Ducks have landed the services of Texas transfer small forward Devon Pryor, his agent Chris Gaston told The Field of 68 on Saturday afternoon. The 6-7 sophomore forward averaged 3.2 points per game for the Longhorns this past year. As a freshman at Texas in the 2023-2024 season, Pryor stuffed the stat sheet with 0.7 points per game, 1.0 rebounds per game in 3.5 minutes per game.

As a member of the Class of 2023, Pryor was a three-star recruit out of Houston (Texas) PSAT Academy, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 23 overall prospect in the state, the No. 50 small forward in the class and the No. 249 overall prospect in the class.

Devon Pryor enters portal after Texas coaching change

Pryor joined the portal following the firing of Rodney Terry. Texas hired Sean Miller, the ex-Xavier coach, to come in and take over.

Miller heads to Texas after three seasons in his second stint at Xavier, going 65-40 over the past three seasons, including a Sweet Sixteen run in 2022-23 and a Round of 64 loss to sixth-seeded Illinois that followed an 86-80 win over Terry’s Longhorns in an 11th-seeded play-in game Thursday in Dayton.

Miller had a combined 185-87 record over eight total seasons across two separate stints leading the Musketeers, which bookended a 12-year run (2009-21) at Arizona in which the Wildcats went 302-109, including three Elite Eight runs in 2011, 2014 and 2015.

Arizona also had two Sweet Sixteen runs in 2013 and 2017, though the Wildcats’ were forced to vacate 50 total wins across the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons stemming from Miller’s alleged involvement in the NCAA’s 2019 corruption scandal.
