Texas’ Jonah Williams to Undergo Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery, Football Clearance Expected

Texas says the two-sport sophomore is on track to be cleared for the start of the football season.

Overview

  • UT confirmed Monday that Williams will have shoulder surgery ending his 2026 baseball season, following an initial report by Orangebloods’ Anwar Richardson.
  • Williams re-injured the shoulder on March 6 while diving for a ball in foul territory against USC Upstate.
  • The outfielder appeared in eight games this spring, batting .304 with seven hits and four RBIs in 23 at-bats.
  • Texas expects him to be ready for football in the fall; he will miss spring practice and is likely to be limited during summer conditioning, according to reports.
  • In his absence, Texas plans to turn to Ashton Larson in the outfield and Josh Livingston at designated hitter.
