Aggies hire new baseball coach
After a five-day search that seemed much longer than that, Texas A&M has a new head baseball coach. Michael Earley, the hitting coach under Jim Schlossnagle, was named the new head coach Sunday morning.
The Aggies interviewed a number of major college head coaches as part of the search, but Earley had the steadfast support of his current and former players at A&M. It didn't hurt that the 2024 team hit a combined .299 with a program-record 136 home runs under his tutelage.
“Michael is a very talented coach and recruiter, but what stood out to me was his character and the relationships he has built with his current and former players," Athletic Director Trev Alberts said. "During our interview process he was really impressive. I think it helps that he knows our current roster, which finished second in the country, and he also knows Aggieland and the 12th Man. I am excited about the future of Aggie baseball. Please help me welcome home Michael and his family back to Aggieland.”
Earley said he and his family were excited to be able to stay in a place they had come to call home.
“Thank you, General Welsh and Trev Alberts for putting your trust in me. Being a part of this University and this program are a dream come true. I will not let you down. See you in Omaha!”
Early makes his first move
Texas A&M didn't hire a head coach for their top job, but they did hire one as their pitching coach. Former Washington head coach Jason Kelly is coming to Aggieland to serve as Earley's pitching coach and lead assistant. The two worked together at Arizona State, before Earley came to A&M and Kelly went to LSU.
Kelly spent one season in Baton Rouge, in 2022, but the results were solid. His pitching staff struck out 610 batters and walked only 220 in 554 innings, holding opponents to a .240 batting average.
In his first year at Washington in 2023, the Huskies went 35-20 making just their 12th NCAA Regional in school history. The 35 wins were the second-most by a first-year head coach in Washington history.
Kelly is known as one of the nation's best recruiters and was the 2018 National Assistant Coach of the Year as he helped Washington to its first ever berth in the College World Series.
Aggies land major 2025 football commit
Not to be outdone, Mike Elko's football program did some work on the recruiting front Sunday afternoon. Four-star linebacker Noah Mikhail, who had 166 tackles last season, committed to the Aggies over USC and Oregon. Mikhail is A&M's third commit from California, along with quarterback Husan Longstreet and cornerback Adonyss Currie. All are 4-stars.
A&M now has 16 total commits and is ranked eighth overall in the Rivals.com recruiting rankings for the 2025 class.
Aggie sets U.S. Olympic Trials meet record
Former Texas A&M track standout Maggie Malone Hardin is on her way to Paris after setting a U.S. Olympic Trials record in the javelin. Hardin, who will compete in her third Olympics, threw the javelin 211 feet, 10 inches to set the record. She beat the runner-up by more than five feet.
