Texas Longhorns football and baseball will soon feature the star power of incoming freshman Jonah Williams.
A talented dual-sport athlete, Texas football's Steve Sarkisian and Texas baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle have both confirmed that Williams will arrive on the Forty Acres as a member of both teams.
Schlossnagle said on Longhorn Network with 3rd and Longhorn that he's excited for Williams' arrival to campus. "Excited to have Jonah join us," Schlossnagle said. "What's cool about a guy like him is he's coming in January so we don't have a chance to lose him to the MLB Draft." Williams had his season cut short by injury in October. He finished the 2024 campaign with 28 total tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, two pass breakups, two interceptions and two kickoff returns for touchdowns.
"He's a really dedicated young man," Sarkisian said. "He's got a great work ethic. He has a beautiful family. They're all very successful people. They know about discipline and hard work."
