AUSTIN - Junior outfielder Cohl Walla (Lake Travis HS) has been dismissed from the University of Texas baseball program for violation of team rules, head coach Augie Garrido announced Friday.
“We are extremely disappointed in the release of Cohl,” Garrido said. “We see him as an exceptional athlete and it’s disappointing that we didn’t do more to help him stay focused in order to reach his full potential. We are proud of the fact that he is going to graduate from The University of Texas and will do everything in our power to help him sign a professional contract.”
Walla, who made 91 starts in 116 career games at Texas, played in four games this season for the Longhorns, going 0-for-4 at the plate. He opened his Texas career in 2010 by earning Baseball America Freshman All-America second team honors after batting .316 with eight home runs and 40 RBI.
