Texas State beat reporter with the @statesman. Prev: @dallasnews, @sports_drc - he/him - UNT - AAJA
Personal news time. I've recently taken a job as the @statesman's new Texas State beat reporter! I'm excited to dedicate all my time and focus to each @TxStateBobcats sport as we reinvest in one of the nation's fastest-growing colleges.
When asked by @YumCaleb about the value of recruiting vs retention, Texas State head coach GJ Kinne spoke about the importance of keeping players "It just costs more money now to retain those guys. That's what I'm talking about going into the [Pac-12], the resources, we have to…
Nine of the top-10 players in Texas for the 2026 class are committed. Just two of them are pledged to Texas or Texas A&M. The Aggies and Longhorns have both lined up elite recruiting classes anyway. statesman.com/story/sports/c…
"You merely adopted the transfer portal. I was born in it, molded by it," GJ Kinne said, probably. Here are some Texas State transfers who could make an impact in 2025. statesman.com/story/sports/c…
Elite Austin spot to hang out at
I fucking love the Elephant Room, I could move to Austin full time for this type of carrying on, I’m so happy 😁
To be fair, Texas State’s lone Sun Belt first teamers from 2024 are gone. But it’s still weird that the polls had the Bobcats as the third-best team in the Sun Belt despite no first or second team preseason players. statesman.com/story/sports/c…
No Dorian Strawn? No Kalil Alexander? Hmmmm
Welcome to preseason poll season. #TXST is projected to finish second in the West, third overall. No First or Second Team projections for the Bobcats.
Texas State football coach GJ Kinne believes retention is the No. 1 priority. However, the Bobcats still lost 20 players to the transfer portal. How can they retain their best players? The move to the Pac-12 may help with that. #eatemup statesman.com/story/sports/c…
I am blessed and honored to say that I have committed to @TXSTATEFOOTBALL thank you @CoachDexG4WYW @CoachMikeOG @GJKinne 🥾➡️texas @pac12 all for @ThereseB1946 @SterlingB1970 ❤️@bchscardinals #2026
Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian says that Texas high school coaches should stand up for their role and remain a part of the recruiting process instead of allowing agents to take over.
Texas State coach GJ Kinne is not just happy with being in the PAC-12. Obviously, winning is the ultimate goal.
G.J. Kinne is high on Brad Jackson, giving effusive praise to his running and throwing ability. He also gave shoutouts to Keldric Luster and Holden Geriner, with the latter being praised as a processor equal to Jackson.
People who embrace and acknowledge the nepotism tend to actually be decent at their jobs
