Shaka Smart and the Longhorns have offered 2021 shooting guard Anthony Black out of Coppell, Texas. A two-sport athlete, Black is also a highly recruited football player, currently a three-star prospect.
247Sports has yet to rate Black as a basketball player but he should be highly recruited there as well. Over the past week, he has picked up offers from Saint Louis, TCU, and Texas Tech.

On the football side, Tom Herman has yet to offer the three-star wide receiver. Baylor, Kansas, and Iowa State have offered Black on the gridiron, with Arkansas and Georgia Tech being the only other Power Five schools to extend an offer.
A Texas legacy, Black’s mother played soccer for the Longhorns for two seasons.
“Texas is definitely up there considering my mom went there for two years,” Black said.
Nobody is quite sure which sport he will choose, but Black possesses enough talent to be an elite prospect in both. Only entering his junior season, he will have the opportunity to increase his rating in both football and basketball.
