Robbins launched a crucial home run, driving in three and igniting the Longhorns' offense in their dominant 12-2 season opener.
Texas Longhorns baseball fans didn’t have to wait long to see why Aiden Robbins was one of the most talked-about transfer additions of the offseason.
In Friday night’s 12-2 season-opening win over UC Davis, Robbins wasted no time making an impression in his debut at UFCU Disch-Falk Field.
The transfer outfielder finished 2-for-4 with three RBI, highlighted by a towering two-run home run in the third inning that flipped the momentum squarely in Texas’ favor.
After that swing put the Longhorns ahead 3-1, the offense found another gear and never slowed down.
Robbins arrives in Austin with a track record of production. At Seton Hall last season, he turned heads with a blistering .422 batting average across 53 games. He wasn’t just a contact hitter, either. Robbins piled up 19 doubles, five triples, and six home runs, proving he can drive the baseball into the gaps and over the fence. That blend of average and power made him a priority target for the Texas coaching staff when he entered the transfer portal.
What stood out most on Opening Night wasn’t just the stat line - it was the poise. Robbins looked comfortable in big moments, delivering key RBI and consistently squaring up on pitches. The Pennsylvania native has now posted a .369 batting average across his first two collegiate seasons, a level of consistency that suggests his performance wasn’t a fluke.
For a Texas baseball program chasing a return to national prominence and aiming to end its College World Series title drought, impact transfers matter.
If Friday’s performance is any preview, Aiden Robbins could become one of the most important bats in the Longhorns' lineup this spring.
