Pryor entered the NCAA transfer portal with a do-not contact tag, meaning his destination is likely set.

As Sean Miller begins assembling his first roster as head coach of the Texas Longhorns men’s basketball team, freshman guard Devon Pryor is expected to enter the NCAA transfer portal.

Pryor, appeared in seven games during the 2023–24 season, averaging 0.7 points and 1.0 rebounds in 3.5 minutes per game. The former three-star recruit reclassified academically to join the Longhorns early, enrolling at the University of Texas in fall 2023.

Following the loss to Xavier, Pryor spoke to the media to speak about his future with the team. The loss did lead to a change of coaches in Austin, with Sean Miller taking over. “I haven’t truly thought about the future,” Pryor said. “I definitely have some reflecting to do with everything going on around us, but the loss really stings right now.”

The 6-foot-7 wing recorded a season-high four rebounds in his collegiate debut against Incarnate Word on Nov. 6. He scored a season-best three points in a win over UNC Greensboro on Dec. 29 and added two points and one rebound against West Virginia on Feb. 10.

A product of PSAT-XEA Academy in Houston, Pryor was ranked No. 21 in Texas, No. 45 among small forwards and No. 209 nationally in the final 2023 class rankings by 247Sports. He also played for One Time Legends on the Adidas 3SSB circuit, coached by NBA Hall of Famer Tracy McGrady. Pryor was born in El Paso and moved to the Houston suburb of Cypress at age 13.

The 30-day spring transfer window opened Monday, giving players across the country a chance to explore new opportunities ahead of the 2024–25 season. It’s unclear where Pryor may target, though Houston could be a potential landing spot for the native. Regardless, his destination is likely set in stone as he joined the transfer portal with a do-not contact tag.
