AUSTIN, Texas — When Texas baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle and pitching coach Max Weiner recruited Jared Spencer out of the NCAA transfer portal last summer, they anticipated he’d be a starting pitcher. It wasn’t a certainty considering the 6-foot-3-inch, 210-pound southpaw only made 11 starts in three seasons at Indiana State. What Spencer did in Friday’s 5-1 win over No. 3 Georgia provided further evidence that their hunch was correct. The work Spencer has done under Weiner’s tutelage hel

Jasper (Texas) High tight end Kiotti Armstrong is among the top offensive targets for Texas in the 2025 cycle.  Armstrong, 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, attended Texas Junior Day January 20. He also received a school visit from head coach Steve Sarkisian and tight ends coach Jeff Banks in January.  “Coach Sark told me to go out there and handle my business,” Armstrong said today. “And keep developing.” Former Jasper High teammate and good friend Tyanthony Smith has had a strong message

At some point, opposing quarterbacks must stop picking on Jelani McDonald. According to Pro Football Focus, McDonald has been targeted 15 times in coverage through four games. That’s No. 1 among SEC safeties, and tied for 20th among FBS safeties, but McDonald has made teams pay for throwing in his direction. McDonald has allowed eight receptions for 76 yards (9.5 yards per reception). With two interceptions (PFF also has him down for one dropped interception), McDonald has held opposin

For Texas baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle and the Longhorns, the benefit of opening the 2025 college baseball season in the Shriners Children’s College Showdown at Arlington’s Globe Life Field is getting their flaws exposed right out of the gate. After Friday’s 4-3 loss to Louisville in 10 innings, Schlossnagle didn’t sugarcoat the sting No. 19 Texas felt while processing the unsavory lessons learned. The Longhorns were one out away from a season-opening victory, but the Cardinals got

Texas shortstop Adrian Rodriguez’s hand procedure was successful, Jim Schlossnagle said after Tuesday’s 10-8 win over Texas State at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. Rodriguez, who underwent offseason hand surgery, had a staple removed that was used in the initial procedure. According to Schlossnagle, it was discovered that Rodriguez was allergic to cobalt and nickel, which were the materials used to manufacture the staple. The negative reaction caused the inflammation, pain and discomfort Rodri

AUSTIN, Texas — Ahead of No. 2 Texas traveling to Auburn for a critical SEC baseball series, coach Jim Schlossnagle told reporters on Thursday at UFCU-Disch Falk Field that two-sport athlete Jonah Williams’ shoulder surgery earlier this week “went great.” Williams, who was injured during the 2025 football season while playing safety for the Longhorns, has been absent from Schlossnagle’s lineup since exiting a 14-2, run-rule victory over USC Upstate on 6. A late-inning dive for a ball in the

Looking to rebound after suffering a 9-8 loss on Friday, No. 2 Texas succumbed to an eight-run first inning by No. 18 Texas A&M in an 11-4 loss to the Aggies at Blue Bell Park on Saturday. In their first series loss of the season, the Longhorns watched a 1-0 lead in the top of the first evaporate. Luke Harrison was tagged for two runs on three hits before the game entered a 98-minute rain delay, after which Harrison surrendered extra-base hits to three of the next four batters he faced.

AUSTIN, Texas — Ahead of No. 6 Texas welcoming Missouri to UFCU-Disch Falk for the final three-game series of the regular season, Jim Schlossnagle and the Longhorns will meet with the media. Wednesday’s availability is on the eve of Texas (36-12, 16-10 SEC) hosting the Tigers in Thursday’s series opener (6:30 p.m., SEC Network+). The Longhorns are tied with No. 10 Texas A&M in the conference standings and remain in contention for a Top 8 national seed in the NCAA Tournament. D1Baseball.

AUSTIN, Texas — Even with Saturday’s 7-4 win over No. 3 Georgia securing a second series win over a top-three SEC foe, there are six weekends of conference play left in the regular season. It's too early for No. 5 Texas to celebrate. Still, Jalin Flores and Will Gasparino highlighted a five-run seventh inning with two-run doubles and righty Max Grubbs held the Bulldogs scoreless during 3.1 scoreless innings of relief, propelling the Longhorns to their 11th come-from-behind win of the season

Texas assistant special teams coach Joe DeCamillis is moving on. The long-time NFL assistant who served a support role for the Longhorns last year, DeCamillis accepted a full-time staff role at South Carolina, according to published reports. DeCamillis helped special teams coordinator Jeff Banks architect one of the best special teams units the Longhorns have produced in decades.
