Texas Longhorns freshman guard Tre Johnson met with the media via Zoom to preview Wednesday's SEC matchup with the No. 23 Ole Miss Rebels in Oxford.

With 17:07 remaining in the second half of Texas' showdown against in-state rival Texas A&M, the Longhorns faced a 22-point deficit, Texas roared back behind 24 points after intermission from star freshman Tre Johnson to escape with a 70-69 win.

The Brooklyn Nets are projected to take Texas guard Tre Johnson with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, per Tankathon's latest mock draft.

He flipped the ball to Julian Larry on the right wing, who in turn found Tramon Mark isolated against Texas A&M's Wade Taylor IV on the far side. Mark, the taller man by 5 inches, took Taylor right to the rim, where he kissed the decisive basket off the glass and in to give the Longhorns a memorable 70-69 win.

After helping lead the Texas Longhorns to one of their more memorable regular-season wins in recent memory, freshman guard Tre Johnson is being honored. Johnson was named the SEC Freshman of the Week Monday,
