Joe Sterling, a four‑star shooting guard committed to Texas, was honored as the LA Daily News offensive player of the year. He averaged 22 points, 4 assists and 5 rebounds per game for Harvard‑Westlake, shooting 43% from three‑point range.
Sterling, ranked ninth best player from California and 11th‑best combo guard nationally, joins a 2026 class that also includes top‑100 recruit Austin Goosby. Their arrival is expected to boost the Longhorns’ offense after a near‑miss national title run.
