Entering his final collegiate season, Texas State left-handed pitcher Austin Smith has begun to look towards his future career path.
One path takes him into teaching and possibly an athletic director role at the high school level as he is currently working on his master’s degree in management of technical education.
The other road is towards a singing career.

Growing up in Abilene, Texas, Smith graduated from Cooper High School and got a full ride to Ranger College after being offered by current Bobcat assistant coach Josh Blakley, who was the head coach of the Rangers from 2013-17.
