While taking advantage of the early-signing period, the first member of Shaka Smart’s 2019 class inked his papers to officially become a Longhorn on Wednesday afternoon. Four-star Missouri City Elkins shooting guard Donovan Williams joins five-star center Will Baker and four-star center Kai Jones as the current members of the 2019 class to sign.
After committing back in early September, Williams stuck with his pledge despite visiting other schools after his commitment. Williams visited Texas A&M, Miami, and Georgia each weekend following his pledge to Texas. He also visited Arizona State on Aug. 31 — the other school that rounded out his top five.
