Freshman Sheldon McClellan should enjoy tons of playing time this season for the Longhorns, as a 6'4" guard who can light it up in a hurry. His senior season at Houston Bellaire High School, McClellan averaged 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. In Bellaire's season-opening win against Booker T. Washington, McClellan scored an incredible 56 points dedicated to his former teammate Tobi Oyedeji who had died in an automobile accident earlier that year.
Here in Austin, McClellan will man the wing position in rotation with fellow backcourt aces J'Covan Brown and Julien Lewis. Coach Rick Barnes will especially need McClellan to produce during the times when J'Covan Brown is on the bench. With some already comparing his offensive game to that of former Longhorn Jordan Hamilton, the sky is the limit for McClellan here at Texas.
