Sean Miller and the Texas Longhorns are turning heads in 2026, and a big part of their success story is transfer small forward Dailyn Swain. As they gear up for the SEC Tournament, all eyes are on Swain to continue his stellar performance.
Tonight, Texas takes on Ole Miss in the first round of the conference tournament. With Swain, along with teammates Matas Vokietaitis and Tramon Mark, the Longhorns have a formidable trio that's been making waves on both ends of the court this season.
Swain's blend of scoring prowess and physicality is expected to set the pace for Texas in the SEC Tournament. And if they secure a spot in March Madness, don’t be surprised if Swain is the driving force behind their success.
His stats from the 2025/2026 regular season speak volumes: 17.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, all while shooting an impressive 55.4% from the field. His efforts earned him the SEC's Newcomer of the Year Award, highlighting his impact in his first season in the conference.
The Longhorns have a relatively smooth path in the conference bracket, provided they maintain their current form. If Swain continues his recent level of play, Texas could be poised for a surprising run in college basketball this March.
