Fresh Faces On The Forty: Transfer wing Elyjah Freeman
Elyjah Freeman highlights today's "Fresh Faces on the Forty". His elite length and defense gives Texas a solid Dailyn Swain replacement.
As we continue making our way through the new additions on the men’s basketball team, we’ve made it to the most interesting addition, in my eyes. Elyjah Freeman, former Auburn wing , has joined the Longhorns and brings remarkable athleticism and versatility to the table. The 6-8 sophomore is best known for his defensive prowess, where he’s one of the top players in the SEC on that side of the ball.
2025 Stats: 9. 2 PPG, 5. 2 RPG, 1.
3 STL, 44. 4% FG percentage, 34. 3% three-point percentage Freeman comes into Austin at a time where they are desperate for wings, with Dailyn Swain moving onto the NBA.
His elite length and rebounding ability gives the Longhorns another player that can operate all over the floor. Defensively, he could end up being the defensive leader for this team. Offensively, there are strides to be taken but if he finds a consistent shot from distance, he could be an NBA prospect this time next year.
