During his introductory press conference, Texas head coach Sean Miller mentioned how important recruiting the top players from the state of Texas would be for his program. His first high school commitment during his tenure in Austin? Not only is it from a prospect right down the road, it’s from a player with close connections to the Longhorns program.

2026 Austin Westlake guard Bo Ogden, son of current Texas general manager and former forward Chris Ogden, has committed to Texas. Ogden chose Texas over Gonzaga, Purdue, Virginia, Tennessee, and Kansas.

Earlier this year, Rivals’ Jamie Shaw labeled Ogden as one of the top shooters in the 2026 class.

What makes Bo Ogden such an intriguing shooter is his constant movement. Having the positional size at 6-foot-6, he is comfortable knocking them down off movement or catch and shoot. Where Ogden developed his game this summer was with his handle, showing some interesting self-creation pieces. Playing with the ASAK Elite program on the Adidas 3SSB Circuit, Ogden shot a staggering 46.3 percent on 7.4 attempts per game.

Scouting report on Bo Ogden

Ogden is an elite movement shooter that can knock down looks from all over the floor, especially coming off of screens as a catch-and-shoot threat. With ASAK Elite on the 3SSB circuit, Ogden shot a blistering 46% from beyond the arc, making him one of Jamie Shaw’s best shooters in the entire 2026 class.

At 6-foot-6, he has elite positional size, and, combined with a high release point, is extremely difficult to contest on the perimeter. He has also shown some ability to put the ball on the deck, making him a multi-faceted offensive threat that can make an immediate impact on a college program.

Ogden is ranked as the No. 34 overall prospect, the No. 7 shooting guard, and the No. 4 player in Texas in the Rivals Industry Ranking. Rivals ranks Ogden as the No. 44 overall prospect, the No. 9 shooting guard, and the No. 3 player in Texas. He is the first commit in Texas’ 2026 class.
