Marcus Spears Jr. Commits to Texas | SEC Basketball News

Marcus Spears Jr., the top 2027 prospect and 6-foot-9 power forward from Dynamic Prep, just reclassified to play for Texas starting in 2026-27 — skipping college entirely and joining his sister on the Longhorns. He beat out elite programs like Kentucky, UNC, LSU, and Arizona, and is averaging over 20 points and 9 rebounds on the Nike EYBL — the only player in the top 10 for both. Son of NFL and WNBA legends, he also helped USA Basketball win gold at the FIBA U16 AmeriCup. Now Texas’ 2026 class is ranked No. 4 nationally, and Spears, at 17, has at least two seasons to shine before NBA eligibility in 2028.
