Texas Longhorns forward Alex Anamekwe has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, On3 has learned.

Anamekwe played sparingly throughout the 2023-2024 campaign for Texas, as well as the season prior. He’ll be looking for more playing time wherever he ends up transferring for the 2024-2025 season and moving forward.

Alex Anamekwe played high school basketball at McKinney (TX), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 242 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Max Abmas: Texas can ‘learn from’ low-scoring victory over Colorado State

It wasn’t easy, especially on offense, but Texas is advancing in the NCAA Tournament. The Longhorns rode their defense to a 56-44 victory over Colorado State on Thursday to move on to the Round of 32 this weekend.

As a team, Texas shot 40% from the field. However, its two leading scorers – Dylan Disuand Max Abmas combined to go 10-for-33 as they scored 12 points apiece. It could easily have been one of those games they throw in the bank and move on from considering their struggles, but Abmas doesn’t see it that way.

Instead, he sees an opportunity to get better.

“It’s a game we can learn from,” Abmas told TNT’s Allie LaForce afterward. “Every game is a game we can learn from. They got a run a little bit. But I was proud of the guys and the resilience we showed.”

Texas will now get ready for the second round of the NCAA Tournament, which will see them play No. 2 seed Tennessee. Of course, Rodney Terry and the Longhorns have plenty of March Madness experience to lean on.

They made it to the Elite Eight a season ago as Terry took over for Chris Beard as interim head coach before, eventually, getting the full-time job.
