Texas has won the Calvin Anderson sweepstakes.

Anderson, the nation's most coveted graduate transfer, announced Saturday he'll finish his career at Texas, choosing the Longhorns over Big 12 rival Oklahoma, as well as Michigan and Auburn.

The big left tackle was a three-year starter at Rice, and will have a chance to replace ex-standout Connor Williams, who entered the NFL draft following his junior year.

Anderson hails from Austin, Texas, meaning he'll get to play close to home. He was lightly recruited out of high school in 2014, but has since become one of the country's top tackles.
