Jordan Pope will play basketball in Moody Center after all, but he won't be wearing burnt orange.
Pope, who played two seasons for Texas basketball as part of a four-year collegiate career, signed to play with Longhorn rival Texas A&M on Monday after receiving a fifth season of eligibility following a court injunction in Pope's home state of California.
Pope, a Californian and the team's starting point guard from 2024-25 through the 2025-26 campaign, spent two years at Oregon State before playing two seasons with Texas. He averaged 13.1 points and 1.9 **** ists in 29.0 minutes a game last season.
Along with dozens of other collegiate athletes across the country, Pope was granted a fifth season of collegiate eligibility after filing a lawsuit against the NCAA.
