Jim Schlossnagle and staff have reeled in their first portal commitment since the season ended. On Wednesday the Longhorns hosted Wichita State INF Josh Livingston. The staff went right to work the moment he stepped on campus and secured a commitment from the incoming senior. Last season Livingston hit .284 on the season, while adding 15 HRs. Sources tell me that Livingston will play either first or third base, but could be considered for a DH role as well.

Be a lot cooler if it was.

We're officially 87 days away from kickoff against Ohio State. Choices are a bit limited today, but tell us who you're favorite No. 87 is. Lawrence Sampleton Kyle Shanahan Will Randle is the current 87 on this year's team:

The first.

I’ve been asked to hold the name for now. I will tell you it’s not a single person that I’ve seen listed anywhere.

Join us at (ok… maybe around) 8:15 AM as we talk the Longhorns and take your questions. Plus it’s Wednesday, so it’s Hump Day With Hills! https://www.youtube.com/live/Mz1Tywzjtuk?si=Z0HXvCWFPMgHh4oQ

Not too worried about it. Gotta remember… the 2026 class is all Schloss guys. 2025 is a mixture of Pierce/Schloss. Anything before… Expect consistent talent upgrades across the board. Texas isn’t playing around.

9:35 PM UPDATE: And here is the fourth one I told yall to expect (not counting the fan favorite hint I dropped awhile back). This is the one who was on the postseason roster.

Huh?

Definitely not baseball (yet… those will come soon and when they do it’s 🤫).

Not to my knowledge.

9:05 PM Update - Texas will begin hosting prospects tomorrow.

Yep. You are correct.

Honestly, I haven’t even thought about first base at all. But that’s a good questions in terms of who will be the man there. He has experience playing 1st, so there’s that. I’ll do some digging and see. I think so much is going to come down to the portal. Texas isn’t messing around.

Definitely. I’ll add it to the OP later today for sure.

It’s definitely not the 9 million that one guy claimed on X, I can tell you that much. lol

Not him. But I wouldn’t be surprised if something happens or doesn’t happen.

We're only 88 days away from the kickoff in Columbus. Who is your favorite Longhorn that wore 88? Cotton Speyrer Barryn Sorrell

Chris Hacopian. I would watch that one imo.

Correct.

As I said in the insider notes, I expect four players to announce their intent to transfer very soon. Three of those have now happened. - OF Matt Scott - OF Donovan Jordan - LHP Chance Covert None of those were on the postseason roster. The one I’m waiting on is, however. *** Tuesday 6:05 PM Update: I hinted at this last week and it’s now happened. Ace Whitehead will be transferring. *** Tuesday 9:05 PM Update: Texas will begin hosting prospects tomorrow. 9:35 p.m. Update: And here is the fourth one I told yall to expect (not counting the fan favorite hint I dropped awhile back). This is the one who was on the postseason roster. *** Thursday, 9 a.m. update: OTF has learned that Texas OF Tommy Farmer IV has entered the transfer portal. On3's Pete Nakos was first to report the departure of Farmer, who hit .249 in 58 games (48 starts) for the Longhorns in 2025. With Farmer's entry into the portal, six members of the Longhorns' 2025 roster will play elsewhere in 2026 (as of 9 a.m. on Thursday): — LHP Chance Covert — OF Tommy Farmer IV — OF Donovan Jordan — INF/OF Sam Richardson — OF Matt Scott II — LHP Ace Whitehead — Thursday 10:30 AM Update: I am expecting a handful of current players on roster to enter the portal relatively soon. — Thursday 10:37 AM UPDATE: That didn’t take long.
