Texas Longhorns guard Simeon Wilcher is on the move again, entering the NCAA transfer portal on Thursday after one season in Austin. The decision comes as head coach Sean Miller looks to bolster his backcourt depth for the upcoming season.
Wilcher, a 6'4", 200-pound guard with one year of eligibility remaining, began his collegiate career with a winding path. A consensus four-star prospect in the 2023 class, he initially signed with North Carolina before being released from his letter of intent and spending his first two seasons at St. John's under Rick Pitino.
His lone season with the Longhorns proved challenging. While he showed a slight improvement in three-point shooting, his overall offensive efficiency and decision-making struggled. Wilcher averaged 5.6 points in 18.6 minutes per game, but his assist-to-turnover ratio remained a concern, and his defensive impact notably regressed from his time with the Red Storm.
For a player once ranked as a top-40 national recruit, this transfer represents a critical opportunity to find a system that can unlock his potential in his final collegiate season. His next stop will be one to watch, as he looks to refine his game and make a more consistent impact on both ends of the floor.
