The Texas Longhorns will lose multiple signees when the 2022 MLB Draft process concludes, but Waxahachie first baseman Jared Thomas won’t be among them after signability concerns ensured he fell out of the first 10 rounds on Monday and he affirmed his plan to follow through on his National Letter of Intent to Texas.
In a recent edition of Baseball America’s rankings, Thomas was considered the No. 218 prospect, but the 6’2, 175-pounder who also pitched in high school has always considered Texas his dream school and wanted to represent the state’s flagship university — in fact, Longhorns head coach compared the commitment Thomas has to Texas to the Clemens brothers.
