Prior to coming to Texas A&M, Morton attended Spring Lake Park in Blaine, Minn. He was ranked as the No. 3 prospect in the state by Perfect Game.

Morton was drafted in the 19th round of the 2023 MLB Draft but opted to go to Texas A&M instead. Now he is on the move after spending one season in College Station.

Issac Morton and Texas A&M advanced all the way to the College World Series national championship series this season, before falling to Tennessee in three games.

The next day it was revealed that Jim Schlossnagle would be leaving Texas A&M for Texas. The Aggies are still searching for their new coach.

Travis Chestnut: I stuck with Jim Schlossnagle ‘because I wanted to be an Aggie and in the SEC’

As the fallout continues from Jim Schlossnagle’s move from Texas A&M to Texas, some Aggies players are speaking out. That includes outfielder Travis Chestnut, who spoke about what it was like to play under Schlossnagle.

Chestnut spoke with The Eagle’s Travis L. Brown about his time in College Station and why he stayed at Texas A&M. He said it wasn’t because of Schlossnagle. He saw an opportunity to play for the Aggies and in the best baseball conference in the country.

“Not once in my career was he a respectable man to me,” Chestnut told Brown, in part. “I stuck with him because I wanted to be an Aggie and in the SEC.”

Schlossnagle’s move sent shockwaves around the college baseball world. Texas made the move official less than 24 hours after Texas A&M fell to Tennessee in the College World Series final and said a reporter was “selfish” for asking about rumors connecting him to an open job. He later apologized during his introductory press conference Wednesday afternoon.

The reaction was swift after Schlossnagle’s decision, including from players that night. Pitcher Chris Cortez took to social media to share his thoughts on what lies ahead for Texas A&M, and he didn’t want it to diminish the Aggies’ run to the CWS finals.

“This should not take away from what this 2024 Texas A&M baseball team has done,” Cortez said on social media. “The players make the team, not the coaches. Less than 24 hours ago we were one of the last two teams standing, playing for a National Championship. Nothing can take that away from us.”
