Longhorns Celebrate 2026 All‑American Honorees
The University of Texas announced its 2026 All‑American selections, honoring four standout players who helped shape a memorable season for the Longhorns baseball program.
Dylan Volantis earned first‑team honors after posting a 2.08 earned‑run average and striking out 135 batters over 95 innings, while also limiting opponents to a .189 batting average and shouldering a heavier workload than many of his peers.
Sam Cozart joined him on the first team, compiling a 1.72 ERA and recording nine saves in 23 appearances, often being called upon in high‑leverage moments that tested his composure.
Aiden Robbins received third‑team recognition, blasting 24 home runs, driving in 64 runs and maintaining a .333 batting average, a transition that many analysts say made the jump to the SEC look effortless.
Carson Tinney rounded out the honorees with third‑team accolades, contributing 58 RBIs, 35 extra‑base hits and earning a Rawlings Gold Glove award for his defensive excellence.
Looking Ahead to 2027
The coaching staff emphasized that the recognition is a springboard for the upcoming season, noting that Volantis will continue to manage a larger workload while Tinney’s power surge and Robbins’ offensive surge raise expectations for next year.
With the draft approaching and the MLB scouting community taking notice, the Longhorns hope to translate these individual achievements into deeper postseason runs and perhaps a national championship.
