Texas has added one more guard to its roster.

Elijah Long, out of Mount St. Mary's, is officially transferring to the Longhorns, he confirms to Horns247. He took his official visit over the weekend and made the call to Shaka Smart on Wednesday afternoon.

He will have to sit out the 2017-18 season but will have two years of eligibility remaining after that.

Long helped led Mount St. Mary's to a Northeast Conference tournament championship this past year and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament, where the Mountaineers lost to Villanova. He shot 41.2 percent from the floor and 38.2 percent from beyond the arc in 36 game while averaging 15 points and 4.4 assists.

Texas currently has two more scholarships available for the 2017 class, which head coach Shaka Smart said could go to potential transfers. It currently has four signees from the high school ranks, including four-star athletes Matt Coleman, Jase Febres, Jericho Sims and Royce Hamm. The Longhorns are also waiting on the decision of five-star forward Mohamed Bamba.

Originally from Canada, Long is the brother of former Iowa State player Naz Mitrou-Long.
