The departures to the NCAA transfer portal for the Texas Longhorns went from significant to concerning on Wednesday when news broke that guard Jordan Lee’s name is in the portal.
The 6’0 California product has two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Lee arrived on the Forty Acres as a member of the 2024
recruiting class as a McDonald’s All-American ranked as the No. 9 player nationally.
As a freshman, Lee earned All-SEC Freshman team recognition after starting in five of the 39 games in which she appeared, averaging 6.2 points per game and flashing some range from deep by leading the team with 42 made three-pointers, hitting 39.2 percent from beyond the arc. Lee scored 16 points in the Final Four against South Carolina and a season-high 20 points against James Madison.
In 2025-26, Lee started 38 of 39 games, finishing second on the team in minutes per game (31.7) and points per game (13.2) and third in steals (59) while shooting 34.8 percent from three to lead the team with 72 made threes, 49 more than Madison Booker and Aaliyah Crump. As one of the few players on the team with a green light to shoot from distance, Lee attempted 42.3 percent of the threes taken by Texas and hit 43.9 percent of the team’s made threes.
On a team that finished 356th out of 359 teams in three-point attempts, that made Lee a major contributor for the Horns and a major loss for Vic Schaefer’s team.
