Imho, unlike other fields of study, I am not sure how important a graduate degree (or where you get it) is in the CS industry. In CS, performance is what gets you the job (big companies will hire you without an undergraduate degree if you know what they want). Even in my son’s first internship near home, he had to take a test to even get to the actual interview. However, I am not an expert and as the UA professor knows better than me, maybe UT is the right move for you.
