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.
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.
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.
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
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.
#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.
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.
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.
#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.
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.
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.
FINAL
#TXST
- 52
#USA
- 44
Regular season over. Bobcats secured their first winning season since 2014, most home wins of the FBS era. Time to go bowling.
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.
#TXST
lands a talented quarterback. Former starter at Washington State and Arizona. 2021 Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year, 2022 All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention. Another body in a very good QB room.
#WNOGB
clip: GJ Kinne talking quarterbacks. High praise for incoming freshman PJ Hatter.
“Running faster times than Malik (Hornsby) in some areas.”
Full interview here:
Sources: Texas State adding UTEP transfer RB Deion Hankins. The
#TXST
backfield is loaded. Maudi-Hankins-Burgess-Pare.
Keep up with all the Texas FBS transfers here:
SOURCES: Texas State is close to adding former Arkansas and SMU head coach Chad Morris to its staff. The former legendary high school coach will serve as wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator.

Running backs coach Eric Stephens is no longer with the
#TXST
staff. Will be interested to see what’s next for him. The Texas Tech alum coached one of the most successful backfields San Marcos has seen in a while.
There are 134 FBS universities, and this year, for the 1st time ever, every school has a chance to play in the playoff that matters. Contrary to recent commentary, we all play the same game - same ball, same rules, same high quality coaches & same heart. Can’t wait to show it!🐾
Cats get another! Third commit of the day is Julius Spencer, a wide receiver who attends Lakeview Centennial. He was a Texas District 9-6A first-team selection as a sophomore in 2022. He had offers from PVAMU, Austin Peay, and Tulsa.
Top six in the Texas 5A 100m all sub-10.6

Despite the undeniable success of the
#TXST
offense, it has felt like a bit of a waste that perhaps the most electric playmaker on the team spends most of the game on the sidelines. He’s been the most efficient runner not named Ismail Mahdi.
This is a good way to address that.
Fredrick Dotie commits to the Bobcats! Safety from Kennedale, Texas joins the
#TXST
class of 2024.
Dotie was a UNT commit, and held offers from TCU, Texas Tech, Utah, Tulane, UTSA, and others
🚨SOLD OUT of UTSA Ticket Allotment🚨
Fans will have to purchase tickets for this Saturday's
@TXSTATEFOOTBALL
game through UTSA ticket pages to support the Bobcats on the road!
Note: Ticket allotment is located in sections 139-140
Well, that’s a great way for
#TXST
to start the game. Mahdi takes the opening kickoff for six, and Brian Holloway intercepts Billy Wiles on the first play for Southern Miss.
#TXST
QB TJ Finley has posted a highlight reel on Instagram with
#7back
included in the caption.
It appears the Bobcats star quarterback is returning next season.
