Over the past week, the Texas Longhorns Baseball team picked up some impressive talent, receiving three commitments from across the nation.

The commits include Jon Shields (2023), Chance Covert II (2024), and Jack McKernan (2025).

Here’s what each commit had to say on Twitter:

Texas is coming off of the heels of a successful 2021 season and will enter 2022 with even higher expectations.

Last season, the Longhorns made it to the College World Series semifinals where they fell to the eventual national champions, the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
