While Selvig wasn’t a big part of the pitching staff in 2024, he is a talented pitcher. Prior to coming to Texas, he was named the 2023 Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association Division 4 Player of the Year.

As a senior at Regis Catholic High School in 2023, Selvig was 7-0 with a 0.22 ERA.

The Longhorns have started a new era of baseball under head coach Jim Schlossnagle, and Selvig will be heading elsewhere as Schlossnagle gets rolling in Austin.

Texas baseball coup sparks rekindled rivalry ahead of SEC union with Texas A&M

If there was any concern about the Texas and Texas A&M rivalry dissipating, those worries are now gone. On June 25, Aggies baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle left the program to take over at Texas. The move came only one day after Texas A&M fell in the national championship to Tennessee.

The move stung Aggies fans even worse after Schlossnagle previously stated he took the A&M job to “never take another job again.” Evidently, Schlossnagle’s declaration didn’t consider a job offer from the Longhorns.

In a conversation with On3’s Andy Staples, Inside Texas’ Joe Cook explained how Schlossnagle’s move not only reignites the rivalry between Texas and Texas A&M’s baseball teams, but all of the schools’ programs.

“People were already very excited to see [the rivalry] come back,” Cook said, referencing Texas joining the SEC. “But, I think what happened this past week definitely ratcheted things up, and not just on the baseball diamond, where Texas is very likely to be interested in a lot of the different Aggie players who have already entered into the transfer portal. But, I think it ratchets it up for the entire rivalry.

“[Longhorns football head coach] Steve Sarkisian was speaking at an event in Houston last month and he was asked in a kind of classic Texas way, ‘Hey, the Aggies are going to be all in on this [rivalry game]. When are you going to make sure that your team is ready?’ He gave a wry smile and said, ‘Oh yeah, we’re gonna be ready.’”
