Pryor goes in-depth on his commitment to Texas

Devon Pryor discussed his commitment to Texas with On3.

“The relationship with coach Terry and coach Chappell and the rest of the staff has been the best,” he said. “Plus the communication and support they’ve shown is unmatched. Texas has always been one of those schools that I’ve kept up with through my basketball career. I’ve seen the talent that has gone through and I believe I can be one of those guys and so do they. It’s a winning culture and a phenomenal place to be.”

In his own words, what type of player is Texas getting in Pryor?

“I’m a get-out-and-go type of player. I love to play with energy on both ends of the court, and I see my style fitting in just right.”

He has a message for UT fans.

“The city and the people of Austin are amazing. It’s one big family and I can’t wait to get down there. HOOK ‘EM HORNS!”
