    After a 33-5 season in 2023-2024 that took the Texas Longhorns to the Elite Eight, the Longhorns stepped into the SEC for the 2024-2025 season and made a statement by winning the conference title, grabbing a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament, and making the program’s first Final Four since 2003.

    2025 Texas Women’s Basketball Roster Overview: Key Departures and New Additions to Watch

    SG Bryanna Preston (Sophomore)

    Bryanna Preston showed flashes of brilliance as a freshman in 2024-2025, using her quickness to get past defenders and create shots.

    If she can polish up her jumper, she’ll be a real threat at the two-guard spot. Schaefer loves players who can move the ball fast, and that’s her.

    PF Breya Cunningham (Junior, Transfer)

    Cunningham’s transfer from Arizona to Texas is a game-changer. At 6’4”, she’s got the height and strength to bang down low, and her defensive instincts will make life tough for opposing bigs. She’s a lock to start in the frontcourt.

    PG Jordan Lee (Junior)

    With Rori Harmon, a longtime leader at point guard, graduating after the 2024-2025 season, someone’s got to take the reins.

    Jordan Lee has been in the program for a couple of years now, and her defensive chops and ability to run the offense make her a solid pick. She’s not the flashiest scorer, but she’s steady.

    C Justice Carlton (Sophomore)

    Carlton’s still growing into her role, but she’s got the tools to hold down the center spot. She’s a physical presence who can swat shots and clean up on the glass.

    As a sophomore, she’ll have a year of experience, which should help her take the next step.

    SF Madison Booker (Junior)

    Booker’s the kind of player who could start at any position, but small forward feels right.

    She’s got the size to battle bigger wings and the skills to take smaller guards off the dribble.
