Austin Erickson '26 Recruiting Profile

Growing up we relocated several times, and I've lived in Lufkin TX, Buda TX, Coppell TX, Haslet TX, and Ponder TX by the time I was 15 years old.   Moving to new cities and new schools has helped me to adapt quickly to change and to be better prepared for new experiences and challenges. 

I am a two-sport athlete. I will be a 4-year starter for the Varsity baseball team and a 3-year starter for the Varsity football team. My goal as a high school freshman was to make the Varsity baseball team and to be a starting RHP by my Junior year of High School. I was able to accomplish those goals. I've received All-District awards 4 years in a row for baseball and 3 years for football.  

I am working on improving my pitching velocity with Velo Doc (Dr. Tyler Winfield Gunter TX) and throwing a higher percentage of strikes in order to become a more effective and efficient pitcher.   

Academically, I would like to maintain a 3.5 or higher GPA to give myself the best chance for success in finding the right college for my academic and athletic skill set.  I would like to earn a degree in business management or marketing.  

In my spare I like to hang out with friends and lift weights.  I also am a big car guy and can talk about cars all day.  I am a hard worker, I have a positive attitude, and I am very competitive. I HATE TO LOSE!!
