Cenac picked Houston over LSU, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and a handful of other solid programs. He is rated .9978 by 247Sports Composite, meaning he's the Cougars' highest-rated commit ever.
He adds to an already-talented Class of 2025 for Houston as the Cougars landed 5-star prospect Isiah Harwell, the No. 12 player nationally, earlier this year and have a 4-star and 3-star prospect committed.
Cenac's commitment bumped Houston from the No. 12 recruiting class in the country to No. 2, according to 247 Composite. The Cougars sit just behind Duke.
Houston is coming off a fantastic 30-4 season that saw it win the Big 12 regular season title in its first year in the conference. The Cougars reached the Sweet 16 for the fifth consecutive season, but faced an upset against Duke after All-American Jamal Shead suffered an ankle injury in the first half.
Houston is now looking to bounce back from the earlier-than-expected exit with a big season this year. The Cougars are 3-1 to start the year with their only loss coming to Auburn, which beat No. 5 Iowa State on Tuesday. Houston will get a chance to pick up a signature win on Tuesday when it faces No. 9 Alabama in the Players Era Festival - Impact Tournament.
