AUSTIN, Texas — Ahead of No. 2 Texas traveling to Auburn for a critical SEC baseball series, Jim Schlossnagle told reporters on Thursday at UFCU-Disch Falk Field that two-sport athlete Jonah Williams’ shoulder surgery earlier this week “went great.”
When the surgeon got in and started working on Williams, Schlossnagle said it became clear that extent of the shoulder damage wouldn’t have allowed Williams to make it through the entire baseball season.
As Schlossnagle said, Williams needed the surgery.
Schlossnagle said the plan is for Williams to spend most of his time with the football program. He wants Williams in the dugout for baseball games, but Schlossnagle said after talking to Williams and his family, along with consulting with Steve Sarkisian and Brandon Harris, he feels it’s in Williams’ best interest to spend as much time as he can with the football program this spring.
Schlossnagle said he’s in full support of Williams playing football in the fall, and the football staff is in full support of Williams rejoining the baseball program in January 2027.
