SAN ANTONIO – On the heels of the Johnson Jaguars’ march to the UIL Class 6A state semifinal round, shortstop Kayson Cunningham announced his commitment Thursday to a school closer to home.
After originally committing to play baseball at Texas Tech, Cunningham said he is flipping his commitment to play at the University of Texas in Austin.
By the grace of God, I’m super blessed to announce I’ll be furthering my academic and athletic commitment to the University of Texas. A huge thanks to my family, coaches, and most of all God for giving me this opportunity. Hook em🤘🏽 pic.twitter.com/YZQgfasewO

After his upcoming senior year, Cunningham will join a talented Longhorn roster, which reached the NCAA Regional round in College Station earlier this year.
The Longhorns also welcomed a brand new coaching staff this summer with Jim Schlossnagle taking the head coaching position after leading Texas A&M to National Runner-Up at the 2024 Men’s College World Series.
Cunningham and the rest of the 2025 class will clash against the best of the 2026 class at the Prep Baseball All-American Game.
The game will take place on Sept. 14 at loanDepot Park in Miami, Florida.
Thank you!🙏🏽 @prepbaseball @PBR_Texas https://t.co/PSo8RELuI9
