M1: Texas 0, TAMU 0

Pack goes down on strikes. It's a 21-pitch inning for Sdao, but Tinney's one-out walk is all the Longhorns muster in the top of the first.

Sdao is up to 15 pitches already in the inning as Pack steps into the box with two outs.

Robbins is rung up on a check swing 2-2 pitch.

Tinney, who just missed a home run down the right-field line, worked a 7-pitch walk. Texas has a runner aboard with one out.

I can't find the game on my ESPN app, so I'm following the stats feed. Ethan Mendoza flied out to right to open the game.

Indeed, unfortunately.

Florida and South Carolina need to get this softball game wrapped up pretty quickly.

The Longhorns and the Aggies play the first of three games in College Station at 7 p.m. on the SEC Network.

Texas forward Camden Heide is the program's first unexpected departure to the NCAA transfer portal. Jonathan Giovny of Draft Express first reported Heide's intent to enter the portal on Thursday. On Texas Football expected Heide to be a part of Sean Miller's club for the 2026-27 season, which will be Heide's last in college basketball after playing two seasons at Purdue before joining the Longhorns for the 2025-26 campaign. After playing in 75 career games for the Boilermakers, Heide saw action in 35 games for Texas. As a Longhorn, Heide set career-high marks for games started (29), scoring (5.9 points per game), assists (23), steals (15), 3-pointers made (49) and 3-point percentage (45.4). Heide made one of the most memorable plays of the season, hitting a 3-pointer from the corner with 14.7 seconds left in regulation to help Texas secure a 74-68 NCAA Tournament win over Gonzaga. The Longhorns finished the season in the Sweet 16, dropping a 79-77 decision to Purdue, with Heide scoring three points and grabbing five rebounds in 24 minutes. With Heide gone and Nic Codie both entering the transfer portal, Matas Vokietaitis is the only experienced frontcourt player returning to Texas for Miller's second season. John Clark and Lewis Obiorah are expected to return after both big men redshirted this past season. Before Heide's departure was known, sources told OTF that the power forward position is one the Longhorns were looking to upgrade with a transfer portal acquisition. View full news story
