Milos Uzan will withdraw his name from the NBA draft and return to Houston for his senior season, his agent told ESPN's Jonathan Givony.

Uzan averaged 11.4 points, 4.3 assists, and 3.1 rebounds in his first campaign with the Cougars, making the All-Big 12 second team. Houston went 35-5, winning the Big 12's regular-season and tournament titles. The team earned a No. 1 seed in March Madness and made it all the way to the national championship before losing to Florida.

Houston starters Emanuel Sharp and Joseph Tugler are also returning next year. Additionally, the program landed Sam Houston center Kalifa Sakho in the transfer portal.

The Cougars are also bringing in three top-25 high school recruits: five-star center Chris Cenac, five-star guard Isiah Harwell, and four-star guard Kingston Flemings.

Former Creighton guard Pop Isaacs had planned to transfer to Houston, but he's now headed to Texas A&M, his agency told The Athletic's Tobias Bass.

Uzan spent two years at Oklahoma before joining the Cougars last season.
