After months of waiting and excitement, the wait is over. The 2025 college baseball season is officially here for the No. 19 Texas Longhorns, folks, and with it comes new beginnings.

The new season means a new conference as well as a brand new coaching staff, with the Longhorns officially set to begin life in the SEC under first-year coach Jim Schlossnagle. While Schlossnagle has found success everywhere he's gone, the expectations are Texas are always high.
