Texas Longhorns forward Jericho Sims signed with an agent on Wednesday, officially ending his college career, Klutch Sports announced.
Always likely to turn professional instead of returning for a fifth season on the Forty Acres, Sims performed well at the NBA Combine last week, boosting his draft stock, after the odds of Sims returning decreased recently when Texas landed a commitment from UMass transfer Tre Mitchell.
Sims posted a 44.5-inch vertical with a 7’3 wingspan after impressing during individual workouts, then carried that success over into scrimmages with his ability as a rim runner who can finish with authority and as a strong and active defender.

The news that Texas Longhorns senior forward Jericho Sims entered his name into the 2021 NBA Draft came in typical Sims fashion without a press release and without a tweet, just his inclusion among the 104 college seniors who filed as early-entry candidates for the draft.
The 6’10, 245-pounder will now have a chance to communicate with and work out for NBA organizations, but still has the option to return to school since he has not signed with an agent, a Texas spokesperson confirmed to Inside Texas. The deadline to withdraw from the draft is July 19.
