Heide, whose 2025-26 season was his first with the Longhorns, averaged 5.9 points and 2.7 rebounds this past season.
A transfer from Purdue, Heide shot 49 percent from the field, 45 percent from three, and 71 percent from the free throw line in his lone season with the Longhorns, hitting important shots down the stretch in Texas’ Sweet 16 run. Heide nailed the game-sealing 3-pointer late in Texas’ second-round win over Gonzaga.
Heide was a mainstay in the starting lineup for most of the year, starting 29 of 35 games and averaging 22.5 minutes per game.
