In his second career start for the Texas baseball team, two-sport star Jonah Williams continued to thrive at the plate. The five-star football recruit went 3 for 3 with a walk and two runs scored against Auburn in a 14-2 run-rule win. The win gives the No. 1 Texas Longhorns a sweep against the Tigers.
The defensive back is an early enrollee freshman and playing baseball with the full blessing of Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian. Sark, baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle and Williams have a plan in place to allow the gifted athlete to play both sports. "Stay firm with baseball in the spring," Williams said after Friday's game. "And in the fall, it's football time. Having that split time is what I came here to do."
It appears Williams has won the starting left field spot for how. Friday, Schlossnagle said Williams will start , "for the foreseeable future.” Left field has been a problem from an offensive production standpoint for Texas since Max Belyeu went down with an injury during the Missouri series.
Texas will play Texas State for the second time this season on Tuesday at 6 pm CT in San Marcos. The Bobcats actually beat the Longhorns 5-3 in Austin on April 1st.
