With 20 rounds of picks, Texas was sure to make some noise in this year’s draft, starting in the first round on Sunday. Texas saw two of its committed high school players drafted in 3B Gavin Fien (12th overall to the Texas Rangers) and SS Kayson Cunningham (18th to the Arizona Diamondbacks). Texas has known for a long time that these commits weren’t making it to campus, with Fien already announcing that he will be signing his contract with the Rangers.

The first Longhorn came off the board late Sunday night, with star slugger Max Belyeu being selected 74th overall by the Colorado Rockies. Belyeu spent most of 2025 injured but won the Big 12 Player of the Year Award in 2024 as Texas’ best bat. It’s very likely that any player drafted on Sunday is signing their professional contract.

With the 74th pick in the 2025 Draft, the @Rockies select @TexasBaseball outfielder Max Belyeu, No. 34 on the Top 250 Draft Prospects list.

Monday is where things really got interesting for the Horns. It was all quiet on the burnt orange front for many rounds. Texas fans had reason to be conflicted, as it felt odd not to hear Jared Spencer, Rylan Galvan, or Jalin Flores’ names called in the first half of the draft. But the deeper the draft goes, the more likely players are to return to school and sign with their team.

The first player to break the streak was Butler OF transfer Jack Moroknek, taken 321st overall in the 11th round by the Washington Nationals. Just one pick later, it was another Longhorn name, with Spencer heading to Toronto as the Blue Jays selected him 322nd overall.

The 11th-round streak continued with Flores heading to the St. Louis Cardinals at 330 and Mississippi State transfer LHP Luke Dotson taken at pick 333 by the Diamondbacks. Texas went from a completely silent Day Two to four players in 13 picks.

Through 12 rounds, Galvan had still yet to hear his name called, and it wasn’t until pick 376 in the 13th round that the Chicago White Sox selected the rising senior slugger, Texas’ best hitter in 2025. With the three main names from the 2025 Longhorn team gone, all eyes turned to prep and transfer prospects still waiting for their names to be called.

A few picks later came LHP Xavier Mitchell to the Los Angeles Angels at pick 379. Then, at pick 466, it was Georgia State transfer UTIL Kaleb Freeman to the White Sox, rising senior RHP Grayson Saunier at 516 to the Houston Astros, and finally RHP Grayson Boles at 548 to the Kansas City Royals.

Texas’ most notable undrafted player is 1B Kimble Schuessler, a graduated fifth-year who started over multiple seasons for the Longhorns and produced efficiently in 2025.

Overall, the Longhorns had five players drafted out of Austin, another three transfers, and four prep players taken. There were a few big wins from this group, as top-100 prospects Anthony Pack Jr., Brett Crossland, Zac Cozart, and Cooper Rummel all went undrafted, but most of the discussion surrounding this draft will be the futures of transfers and Saunier.

Texas brought in a top-five portal haul this window, but that may be tainted if players like Moroknek, Dotson, and Freeman sign their pro contracts. The portal is still open, so Texas may still be able to find additional help in the outfield or bullpen if these players choose professional ball over Austin, but these losses would be notable for a Texas team looking to push for Omaha and a national championship in 2026.

This group of 12 players has until August 1st to sign professional contracts, otherwise allowing them to return to or officially make it to Austin for the 2026 season and onward. Texas’ staff will have some important conversations over the next two weeks to decide the future of many of these prospects and transfers, but for now, it’s all celebrations for this group of players whose dreams came true over the last two days.
