Texas's ace and the preseason Big 12 Pitcher of the Year Lebarron Johnson Jr. gets the call on the mound in the season opener on Feb. 16 against San Diego.

The 6-foot-4 redshirt junior right-hander Johnson was a Second-Team All-American for the Longhorns in 2023. Last season, he registered an 8-4 record with a 2.91 earned run average over 13 starts and 20 total appearances on the mound.

Not only is Johnson the best arm in the Longhorns' rotation this season, but he is also looking to boost his stock for the 2024 MLB Draft. Johnson was the No. 100 ranked prospect for the 2024 MLB Draft by Prep Baseball Report a couple of months ago.

In Game 2 of the Texas-San Diego series this weekend, the towering 6-foot-8 senior right-hander Charlie Hurley will get the start. The Game 3 starter is still yet to be announced for the Longhorns.
