Longhorns land coveted catcher Carson Tinney through transfer portal
On Monday, the Longhorns offense got a major upgrade On Monday, Longhorns baseball got its best news of the offseason. Former Notre Dame catcher Carson Tinney announced that he was joining Texas. He was ranked as the No. 5 player in the NCAA transfer portal, according to Baseball America. Now, he will get to build on his career year in Austin. During his sophomore year, Tinney became one of the best players in the country. The talented backstop was a Buster Posey Award finalist and first-team All-American. In 48 games, Tinney posted a .348 batting average and drove in 53 runs. Tinney also showed some power as 30 of his 55 hits went for extra bases. As he made headlines with his bat, the newest Longhorn also showed great patience at the plate. Although Tinney was elite offensively, that is not the only way he brings value. The Colorado native is also excellent in the field. In his last season at Notre Dame, he only made three errors while throwing out 17 of 25 attempted base stealers. With Tinney now in the mix, Texas will have an elite option behind the plate for the second straight year. Tinney will replace Rylan Galvan, who is also a Buster Posey Award finalist. Following a stellar season, Rylan Galvan is expected to hear his name called in the MLB Draft next month. In Tinney, the Longhorns are also getting a player with two years of eligibility. That gives him plenty of time to carve out a legacy in Texas if he doesn't enter the draft next year. Regardless of how long Tinney is a Longhorn, his career should be full of unforghetale moments. After winning an SEC championship, the Longhorns offense will again be a force to be reckoned with. The Longhorns roster has the potential to win a national title, and Tinney is expected to be a key player.

Longhorns catcher Rylan Galvan adds to his trophy case
Longhorns catcher Rylan Galvan adds to his trophy case Longhorns catcher Rylan Galvan receives national honors for his play While the Longhorns 2025 campaign is over, honors are still rolling in. The latest Longhorn to add some hardware to their trophy case is catcher Rylan Galvan, who has been named an All-American. After a career year, Galvan's latest award comes as no surprise. During his junior season, Galvan appeared in 56 games and was an anchor in the Longhorns lineup. He set career highs in home runs with 15, RBI with 47, and hits with 55. For the third straight year, the Texas native set new career highs in games played and took his play to another level. This is not the first time Galvan has made headlines since the Longhorns' regular season ended. Last week, he was named a finalist for the Buster Poset Award. Each year, the award is given to the best catcher in Division 1 baseball. The Longhorns star will know his fate for that honor by the end of the month. Whenever Galvan was in the lineup, Texas had a bat that could make a difference and a catcher pitchers could trust. He caught nine runners stealing and only committed four errors. The Sinton High School product finished the 2025 campaign with a .992 fielding percentage. Due to his stellar season, Galvan's stock is on the rise. He only has one year left of eligibility and has the potential to be a very good star at the next level. Regardless of what the future holds, he has made the most of his time at Texas while continually earning national recognition for his play.

Texas vs UTSA baseball: Live updates End 7: UTSA 8, Texas 7 Texas cut the UTSA lead in half during the seventh inning as Rylan Galvan crushed a solo shot over the fence in left field. That was the team-leading 15th homer of the season for Galvan. The last catcher to lead Texas in homers was Tres Barrea in 2016. End 6: UTSA 8, Texas 6 After Kimble Schuessler led off the sixth inning with a four-pitch walk, UTSA made a call to its bullpen for Braylon Owens. A 14-time starter, Owens was making his sixth relief appearance of the season. Advertisement Owens walked the first batter he saw, but Jalin Flores failed to execute a bunt and Will Gasparino then struck out. To end the inning, Jonah Williams was caught looking at a full-count strike from Owens. Texas closer Dylan Volantis will enter the game in the top of the seventh inning as the Longhorns try to keep UTSA from pulling away. Mid 6: UTSA 8, Texas 6 Upon entering the game and inheriting a two-out, two-runner jam, Texas reliever Thomas Burns threw three fastballs that were clocked at 98, 98 and 100 miles-per-hour. Facing a 1-2 count, Nathan Hodge then smacked a 97 miles-per-hour offering into centerfield for the game-tying single. Advertisement Hitting out of the No. 9 spot in the UTSA batting order, Hodge is 2-for-3 today with three RBIs and two runs scored. Mason Lytle and Garrett Gruell followed up Hodge's heroics with run-scoring hits into left field. The inning ended with a play at the plate that led to a review and words being exchanged between the two teams. After building a 6-1 lead, Texas now trails for the first time today. End 5: Texas 6, UTSA 5 Texas had a chance to respond to UTSA's offensive outburst but came up empty. After Rylan Galvan was hit by a Kendall Dove pitch to load the bases with two outs, Max Belyeu was brought to the plate. But Belyeu, the No. 3 batter in the UT lineup and the 2024 Big 12 Player of the Year, struck out on three pitches. Mid 5: Texas 6, UTSA 5 The Roadrunners cut into the Texas lead during a big fifth inning. Nathan Hodge produced a two-run single from the No. 9 spot in the UTSA batting order and later scored as teammate Mason Lytle attempted to steal second base. UTSA also got an RBI double from James Taussig in an inning that featured a pitching change. Max Grubbs is now pitching for Texas. Starter Luke Harrison allowed four hits over 4 ⅓ innings, but he hit two batters and issued a walk. End 4: Texas 6, UTSA 1 Both Texas and UTSA got a runner to second base in the fourth inning. But neither team could add to their scores. End 3: Texas 6, UTSA 1 Adrian Rodriguez broke a 1-1 tie in the third inning when his bases-loaded groundout scored Rylan Galvan, who had led off the third inning with a walk. Jonah Williams later produced a bases-loaded single into right field that scored two of his teammates, and Casey Borba's second double of the game brought home another run. Williams capped the inning by scoring on a wild pitch. With one out in the third inning, UTSA went to its bullpen and replaced starter Conor Myles with Connor Kelley. Williams and Borba produced their run-scoring hits against Kelley. End 2: UTSA 1, Texas 1 Texas had a chance to retake the lead in the second inning but came up short. A two-out double by Casey Borba put runners on second and third base, but Ethan Mendoza flied out to right field to end the game. Mid 2: UTSA 1, Texas 1 Aided by a Texas error, UTSA quickly moved two runners into scoring position in the top of the second inning. A fly ball into left field was then deep enough to score Lorenzo Morresi and tie the game. Advertisement Of more interest to UTSA in that inning was the status of all-conference shortstop Ty Hodge, who was thrown out by left fielder Jonah Williams at third base on the run-scoring flyout. Hodge appeared to hurt his shoulder on the play and was helped off the field. He will remain in the game. End 1: Texas 1, UTSA 0 Texas has seized an early lead at UFCU Disch-Falk Field. Kimble Schuessler's RBI groundout scored Rylan Galvan in the first inning. Texas is 27-4 this season when it scores first. Mid 1: UTSA 0, Texas 0 After getting the first two batters of the evening to fly out to center field, Texas starter Luke Harrison hit James Taussig with a pitch. Harrison, though, quickly atoned for that errant offering when he picked Taussig off of first base. Harrison has picked off five runners this season. As a team, Texas has 13 successful pickoffs.
