Report: Tramon Mark to return to Texas for 2025-26 season

Texas star Tramon Mark is returning for another season with the Longhorns. CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein first reported the news, citing a news release.

Mark is a long-time college basketball veteran, having now played five seasons. He began his career at Houston, spending three years with the Cougars before moving on.

After his stop at Houston, Tramon Mark then headed to Arkansas for one season, where he played under head coach Eric Musselman. When Musselman departed for the USC job, Mark once again hit the transfer portal and wound up at Texas.

Yet again, he’s at a program enduring a coaching change. Texas fired Rodney Terry following the 2024-25 campaign, bringing in Sean Miller. But Miller was seemingly able to convince Mark to stick it out for another year.

Mark is coming off a season in which he averaged 10.6 points and 3.7 rebounds. Neither were career highs. The 6-foot-5 guard was at his best a year ago suiting up for the Razorbacks. He averaged 16.2 points per game and also chipped in 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He can certainly fill up the stat sheet.

For Texas, the return of Mark means the Longhorns will have at least one reliable piece in the backcourt. Mark started 25 games in his 29 appearances this season.

The Texas native is also a strong shooter. He has a career mark of 32.7% from behind the 3-point arc, and he shot 34.6% from range this season. He’s also as 78.7% free-throw shooter, though he posted his lowest mark yet in 2024-25 when he went 74.7% at the stripe.

As a recruit, Tramon Mark was ranked as a four-star prospect and the No. 72 overall player in the nation in the On3 Industry Rankings in the class of 2020. He also checked in as the No. 13 shooting guard in the class and the No. 4 overall player from the state of Texas, hailing from Dickinson (TX) Dickinson.
