One thing that stood out to me all year was how good a teammate Hornsby was. He was one of the most active, uplifting players on the sideline. Always the first to congratulate teammates after a great play, and encourage them after a mistake. Go be great, king.
Texas State QB Malik Hornsby has entered the transfer portal,
@chris_hummer
and I have learned for
@247sports
.
Former top-100 recruit who began his college career at Arkansas.
It’s over, winless no more.
#TXST
has taken down UTSA. Bobcats absolutely dismantle the Roadrunners, 49-10. Cats are 2-0 for the first time since 2013. They made a statement today.
Just now waking up to see it’s confirmed, a major splash for
#TXST
. He’s the perfect quarterback to run Kinne’s offense. After many twists and turns, the Bobcats end up with a fantastic quarterback.
New commit for
#TXST
, the first of the class of 2025. Powell is a CB out of Royse City HS, 6’1” with great speed. Also returned some kicks. He had offers from North Texas, UTSA, SHSU, Arkansas State, and more.
#TXST
RB Ismail Mahdi is currently sixth in the FBS in rushing yards. He has 47 fewer attempts than Troy’s Kimani Vidal, who is in the lead.
The sophomore transfer from
#HCU
leads the FBS in all purpose yards.
#TXST
HC GJ Kinne at the press conference after the spring game. He shouted out DT Nathan Huerta, a former walk-on, as someone who stood out today with some players out. He was also impressed by redshirt freshman CB Amarion Atwood who had an interception.
#TXST
lands transfer TE Blake Smith, previously at Oklahoma. Listed at 6’4” 256lbs. Attended Southlake Carroll HS, and played for Texas A&M (2020-22) before spending last year with the Sooners.
TEXAS STATE HAS WON THE SUN BELT!!! For the first time since 2018, the Cats are on top. Jessica Mullins with a complete game to take down Louisiana, 9-5. What a team, and the run ain’t over yet.
#TXST
announces that their game against Troy has been moved from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Both teams currently sit at 5-2, and are 2-1 in conference play. Bobcats will be playing for their first six win season since 2014.
Jake Spavital won three road games in total across his four years at
#TXST
G.J. Kinne has a chance to win three of his first four road games on Saturday.
The flaws of last season’s 8-5
#TXST
team were discipline and in-game decision making. Through four games discipline and in-game decision making have held this team back.
Yet ANOTHER
#TXST
commit. Fisher is a DE out of Cy Ranch HS in Houston. He had 25 total tackles in 5 games last season, and had offers from UNT, UTEP, UTSA, and Arkansas State.
When
#TXST
said today was a sell out, they meant it. There isn't an empty seat in the house, and you can see tons of fans standing all throughout the concourse.
seeing way too many Texas State fans on the TL talking shit about Texas
shame we don’t schedule cupcakes as our non-conference games in football otherwise we’d shut them up pretty quickly
Another
#TXST
commit in the 2025 class, linebacker Ke’Von Carter. Carter attends Wagner HS in San Antonio and had offers from Houston, UTEP, Arkansas State, ULM, Washington State, and more.
Bobcat legend, absolute baller. He was with the program during some dark days, but still came back last season. Deserved a year like this as much as anyone.
As a student at
#TXST
, I saw TJ Finley and the WRs playing pickup basketball numerous times at the student rec center in the Fall. Point being, continuity matters. Chemistry matters. If you’re bringing back this much production from an elite offense, don’t push the QB away.
#TXST
CB Joshua Eaton after the victory over UTSA. On the focus of discipline on defense this week:
“Discipline, discipline, discipline. We knew if we were the most disciplined team they couldn’t hang with us.”
#TXST
QB Jordan McCloud after the spring game. He talked about embracing his leadership role with the Bobcats. He said there’s a winning culture that he’s excited to be a part of.
#TXST
came into this series 19th in RPI, Penn State was 16th. The Cats swept the Nittany Lions. San Marcos is on regional watch, I’m drinking the early season Kool-Aid.
Another class of 2025 commit, OL Ameer Ross out of Duncanville. Ross is 6’5” 370lbs. Won the state title at left guard in 2023, picked the Bobcats over Tulsa and UTEP.
Former
#TXST
CB Kaleb Ford-Dement signs with the New England Patriots. Ford-Dement is an athletic, ball-hawking CB. Now he joins a system that lends itself well to corners.
Well, there we have it. Arizona State takes down Mississippi State. UFCU Stadium will host a pair of 2-0 teams this Thursday when
#TXST
plays the Sun Devils on ESPN.
Jo'Laison Landry has fully broken out tonight. He had 2 TFLs and a sack against Sam Houston. 2.5 sacks for him tonight, stepping up in the absence of Ben Bell.
Both Colorado and Texas State pulled off massive upsets with first-year head coaches after overhauling their roster.
Could this be a new wave in college football? 🤔
#TXST
earns the commitment from former Boston College WR Jaden Williams. He returns to Texas for his final year of eligibility, he attended Hendrickson high school in Pflugerville.
FINAL
#TXST
- 38
#Troy
- 17
A wire-to-wire victory. As
@Keff_C
would put it, Texas State didn't fill up on bread tonight. They start 1-0 in Sun Belt play. Bobcats return home as they face Arkansas State at UFCU Stadium next Saturday, a big game.
BALLGAME!
#TXST
wins an absolutely INSANE game over Texas, 11-10. Aaron Lugo with a two-out, two-run home run in the ninth that gave the Bobcats the lead. Cats face No. 3 LSU tomorrow.
#TXST
ended the game with: 52 more yards, 3 fewer penalties, 10 more first downs, 36 more offensive plays, 2 more red zone trips, and an 8 minute advantage in time of possession.
In a 77-31 loss.
Jessica Mullins already cemented herself as one of Texas State’s all-time greats, but this weekend was the cherry on top of her incredible legacy. She pitched 9 innings yesterday, turned around and took down the Sun Belt’s softball giant with a complete game against Louisiana. 🐐
#TXST
softball begins their season with a 2-1 win over UTSA. Katarina Zarate had a solo homer in the 2nd, followed by a Karmyn Bass RBI double in the next inning. That was all freshman Madison Azua needed as she goes all 7 innings striking out 12 in her first career start.
Texas State picks up a QB in the class of 2025. Dual threat QB who led Muskogee HS to a state title in Oklahoma. Picked Texas State over offers from UNLV, UNT, UTSA, Tulsa, and more.
FINAL

#USA

Regular season over. Bobcats secured their first winning season since 2014, most home wins of the FBS era. Time to go bowling.
#WNOGB

Keep up with all the Texas FBS transfers here:
Running backs coach Eric Stephens is no longer with the
