Madison Booker, the rising star of the Texas Longhorns women’s basketball team, has made a bold and emotional announcement: she’s staying with the program indefinitely. In a message that resonated across college basketball—“I’M STAYING FOREVER!”—Booker confirmed that she has agreed to a long-term commitment with Texas, effectively securing her future with the team for the duration of her collegiate career and possibly beyond in a symbolic way.
This monumental decision comes after a breakout season where Booker not only led the Longhorns to impressive victories, but also established herself as one of the most dynamic players in the NCAA. As a sophomore, she reached the 1,000-point mark, a feat rarely accomplished so early in a player’s career. Her on-court leadership, scoring ability, and versatility earned her numerous honors, including SEC Player of the Year and semifinalist status for the prestigious Naismith Trophy.
The announcement of her “permanent contract” with the Longhorns is more than just a commitment to staying in Austin—it reflects her belief in the program, its culture, and the community around it. While college athletes don’t technically sign lifelong contracts, Booker’s message symbolizes her loyalty and dedication to building something lasting with Texas.
Her decision is also a huge win for the Longhorns’ recruiting and program stability, as keeping a player of her caliber ensures the team remains a powerhouse in women’s college basketball. Booker’s long-term presence will inspire both current teammates and future prospects, solidifying her legacy as a Texas legend in the making.
