Before joining the Longhorns his sophomore year, Askew played for the Kentucky Wildcats. The California native averaged 6.5 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.6 rebounds per game last season.
Before college, Askew was one of the highest-rated point guards in the 2021 class. Then, he was reclassified to the 2020 class.
Additionally, Texas added Utah Utes junior forward Timmy Allen, and Vanderbilt Commodores sophomore power forward Dylan Disu through the transfer portal.
