Texas baseball<\/a> outfielder Jonah Williams<\/a> will have season-ending shoulder surgery, UT officials announced Monday, shutting down the sophomore’s year after appearing in only eight games this spring.<\/p>\n

Williams was hitting .304 with seven hits and four RBIs in 23 at-bats. The two-sport athlete has dealt with injuries to his shoulder and hamstrings<\/a> his first two years and has been expected to play a bigger role for Texas’ football team this fall. Williams signed with Texas as a five-star safety, but also enrolled early in 2025 to play baseball last year.<\/p>\n

Williams is expected to be cleared for the start of the 2026 football season, according to a Texas statement.<\/p>\n

Williams originally injured his shoulder March 6 while diving for a ball in the outfield in the Longhorns’ win over USC Upstate. The No. 2-ranked Longhorns (18-1, 2-1) begain SEC play this past weekend. In Williams’ absence, Texas is expected to turn to Ashton Larson in the outfield and Josh Livingston at designated hitter.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns’ baseball team is 18-1 heading into Tuesday’s game against Tarleton State at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas baseball outfielder Jonah Williams will have season-ending shoulder surgery, UT officials announced Monday, shutting down the sophomore’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":207150,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2845,47364,27,29,537,20340,536,28],"class_list":["post-207149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-college-baseball","tag-jonah-williams","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-longhorns","tag-texas-longhorns-baseball","tag-texas-longhorns-football","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=207149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/207149\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/207150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=207149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=207149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=207149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
