OTF Premium Monday - Some interesting news forthcoming?

[Bobby Burton]

This time next week, much of the OTF crew will be in Tampa for the beginning of SEC Football Media Days.

We’ll have a set up there where we’ll be interviewing various folks from around the SEC. We’ll attempt to speak to a media member from every 2026 conference opponent to get their viewpoint on their matchup with the Longhorns.

It should be wall-to-wall football coverage. Hopefully, y’all like it!

As of today, Texas baseball is waiting on a decision from infielder Ethan Mendoza. Mendoza went undrafted and could return to Texas for next season (or even the next two seasons with the five-for-five).

I’m told Mendoza at one point was dead set on moving on to the minors, but his injury and upcoming surgery, on top of not being drafted have him re-thinking that decision.

His choices are pretty clear:

Sign an undrafted free agent deal for a max bonus of $150k or return to Texas and try to improve his draft stock.

A decision is expected as soon as tomorrow.

While I have to stop short of guaranteeing anything, there could be some very interesting news this week. I need to leave the topic out of it for now.

In the age of nil, I would bet he comes back for a bigger payday now and down the road by increasing his draft stock.  He is one big year away from changing his whole trajectory..
