Texas Baseball Loses 2025 Commitment

By Blake Munroe

· 5468 views

Austin Anderson outfielder Ed Small has decommitted from the Longhorns baseball program.  Small is an elite prospect on the diamond, but has instead decided to focus his efforts on football moving forward.  

As a wide receiver, the 6-foot-1, 205-pounder already has offers in hand from schools such as TCU, Baylor, Texas State and Tulsa.  He was recently on campus for the Texas junior day this past Saturday as well. 

This past season he hauled in 77 receptions for 1,112 yards and 19 touchdowns.

Small was graded a 9.5 by Perfect Game for baseball, which is considered an MLB draft pick in the high rounds.

    TCU will be one to watch here, unless Texas offers in football.  The Horned Frogs are telling Small he can play both sports in Fort Worth,

    Let's see if his recruiting traffic for football picks up now that he's opted to go in that direction.

    Bummer. I do feel like Texas will have another solid season on the diamond. They already have their weekend starting pitching set with Witt, LBJ and Hurley. I expect to see improvement in both their defense and batting with Tulo back. If all goes well Texas should have a lot of momentum to sign another top 5 class.

    Is it really feasible/ practical for college athletes in today's day and age to play TWO sports while in college? I would think the football program of an institution like Texas would require way too much time and energy, making it difficult for someone to try to play both baseball AND football while on the Forty Acres??
