AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Max Obamas, the nation’s active scorer, heads to Texas.
Former Oral Roberts guard announced on Twitter Thursday that he will be joining the Longhorns for his final collegiate season, giving Longhorns coach Rodney Terry a high scorer.
The 6-foot guard was one of the most prolific scorers in the country in four seasons at Oral Roberts, averaging 20.8 points per game while shooting 38% from 3-point range.
Abmas led the nation in scoring with 24.5 points per game as a sophomore in 2020-21 and became the first player since Steve Curry’s Davidson in 2008 to score 25 or more points in his first three NCAA tournament games. The Golden Eagles reached the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1974 that season.
Abmas averaged 21.9 points per game last season, ninth nationally.
