Sage Hill senior Amalia Holguin, once the youngest player on Kobe Bryant’s famed youth basketball team, has committed to one of the highest-ranked women’s collegiate programs.

The All-County guard on Monday announced her commitment to Texas, which finished 35-4 last season and reached the NCAA Women’s Final Four. The Longhorns were fourth in the final AP Top 25.

“100 percent committed,” Holguin wrote of her commitment on Instagram.

Holguin, who is 5-foot-9, earned first-team All-County honors for the second consecutive season in 2024-25 .
