Former Kansas State and Creighton basketball player Arthur Kaluma joins Texas Longhorns

Kansas State Wildcats forward Arthur Kaluma (24) stumbles as Texas Longhorns forward Dillon Mitchell (23) guards him as the Longhorns play Kansas State at The Moody Center on Monday, Feb. 19, 2024.

In each of the past two basketball seasons, Arthur Kaluma has visited Moody Center with a different team. This upcoming winter, however, Kaluma will serve as a host at the University of Texas’ arena.

Texas announced on Friday that it had officially signed Kaluma. A 6-foot-7 forward, Kaluma played at Kansas State during the 2023-24 basketball season. He also spent two years at Creighton.

During his lone season with the Wildcats, Kaluma scored 14.4 points per game and averaged a team-high 7.0 rebounds. Over three years at Kansas State and Creighton, Kaluma has made 99 starts and tallied 1,233 career points.

In three career games against Texas, Kaluma scored 44 points.

Kaluma is the sixth transfer that Texas has added to its roster this offseason. Malik Presley (Vanderbilt), Jordan Pope (Oregon State), Tramon Mark (Arkansas), Julian Larry (Indiana State) and Jayson Kent (Indiana State) have also joined the Longhorns.
